In the spring of 1964, Jerry Lieber, Mike Stoller and George Goldner asked Jeff Barry and Ellie Greenwich to help them start up a record label. Sisters Barbara and Rosalie Hawkins, and cousin Joan-Marie Johnson were among several New Orleans-based groups brought to Red-Bird Records.

It became a massive hit and a huge cash generator for the new label.
