Taylor, Van’s foster sister and his cousin, Theodore R. Ray, Jr. Mr. McCoy, Van’s sole heir and next of kin copyright renewal claimant, decided to preserve all the copyrights, property and artifacts inherited from his son by placing them in the corporation. We publish and co-publish much of Van’s music, provide information about his music, and continuously manage and promote the Van McCoy catalog. |

We have been participants at MIDEM, Carnes, France, and are members of the local Prince Georges County Chamber of Commerce. |
| In 1990 we produced a 30 minute VHS documentary film on Van and in 1995 commissioned vocalist Jean Carne to produce an album of Van’s music entitled "Carne Sings McCoy" on CD or Cassette. These are available upon request. In June 2000, we also released a CD with Van's early years and the group he had with his brother, Norman, called The Starlighters. This CD is available exclusively from Van McCoy Music Inc. |
