DEB Records
1950s label from New York City, owned by Julius Dixon.
Started by Julius Dixon, a veteran songwriter whose successes included (as co-writer) the Chordettes' 1958 smash 'Lollipop' and Bill Halley's 'Dim Dim the Lights'. Dixon dabbled in all areas of the music business and in 1957, he launched the DEB Label as a vehicle for his protégé, 14 year-Old Beverly Ann Gibson who had won the amateur hour at the Apollo theatre. She in turn introduced Dixon to the Chanels who hailed from her hometown of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.
