Laurie Records: Pop, Rock and Roll, Doo-Wop.

Named after label founder Sussel's daughter Laurie, this label took the streets of NY city in 1958 with a huge artist Dion DiMucci who teamed up with the Belmonts and who later had a successful solo career. It was Dion's B-side "The Wanderer" which rose to No. 2 nationally that made the Italian-American a Rock and Roll Superstar. Quick trivia: Dion survived the Day The Music Died, as he didn't board the plane which killed Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens and the Big Bopper.
