Original Records (8)

American label owned by Frank Natko. All releases for the label did next to nothing on the sales charts. But executives of Decca heard the tune of Al Hibbler ("When The Lights Go Down Low") and on this basis offered Hibbler a recording contract with them and so recut the song for Decca. It turned into a huge hit, made Hibbler into a national star with more hits forthcoming ("Unchained Melody", "He", "The Eleventh Hour").
