The label's most successful and influential act was Funkadelic, including the classic “Maggot Brain”.
Westbound was also home to the Ohio Players before they went to Mercury Records and the label had a top 15 hit with "Funky Worm."
Former Ric-Tic and Motown group The Fantastic Four also found moderate success during the disco era under the label.
The Detroit Emeralds, who had also recorded briefly for Ric-Tic in the late 1960s, signed with Westbound in 1970 and enjoyed a string of hit singles, most notably 1972's "Feel The Need In Me".
