In late 1971, Clive Calder and Ralph Simon began their partnership in forming businesses in record production, music publishing, artist management and concert promotion in South Africa. In 1972, a young producer named Mutt Lange began producing songs for Calder. The trio of Calder, Simon and Lange decided in 1974 that they had to get out of South Africa. They pooled together what little money they had and moved to London and created the publishing company Zomba Corporation, operating out of Calder's bedroom space in London. Jive Records was formed in 1981. Jive operated as an independently managed label until 2002 when Bertelsmann Music Group acquired the remainder of Zomba for US $2.74 billion, which was at the time the largest-ever acquisition of an independent label.
