Del-Fi Records
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Del-Fi Records was a record label based in Hollywood, California and owned by Bob Keane. The labels first single released was no 4101 "Caravan" by Henri Rose released in 1958; however, the label was most famous for signing Ritchie Valens. Valens first single for the label was "Come On Let's Go" which was a big hit. His next single, Donna/La Bamba, was also a big hit. The Del-Fi label closed its doors in 1967. In the 1990's Del-Fi was resurrected and released numerous CDs of its original material, and signed some new acts to the label as well. In September of 2003, Bob Keane sold the Del-Fi catalog to the Warner Music Group.
Bob Keane also owned and operated Donna Records, Mustang Records, Bronco Records and Stereo-Fi Records as sister labels to Del-Fi.
