Laurie Records was founded in 1958 by George Goldner and his partners, initially focusing on pop and doo-wop music. The label gained prominence in the early 1960s, becoming known for hits by artists such as The Chiffons, whose "He's So Fine" topped the charts, and The Shirelles. Laurie also released records in various genres, including rock and roll and rhythm and blues. In the mid-1960s, the label expanded its roster, featuring artists like The Cowsills and The Five Satins. Despite its success, Laurie struggled to compete with larger labels and was sold in 1968 to the conglomerate, ABC Records. The label's legacy endures, particularly through its contributions to the doo-wop and pop music scenes, and its catalog remains influential in the history of American music.
