Colpix

Colpix Records was founded in 1958 as a subsidiary of Columbia Pictures, initially focusing on pop and rock music. The label emerged during the early 1960s, a period marked by the rise of the folk and rock genres. Colpix gained prominence by signing notable artists such as The Kingston Trio, who were instrumental in popularizing folk music, and singer-songwriter Bobby Vinton, known for his romantic ballads. Throughout its existence, Colpix also ventured into children's music and soundtracks, further diversifying its catalog. The label's output began to decline in the late 1960s, leading to its eventual closure in 1970. Despite its relatively short lifespan, Colpix's contributions to the folk and pop music scenes of the era left a lasting impact, and its recordings continue to be appreciated by collectors and music historians alike.
