Deltone

Deltone Records, founded in 1957 by musician and producer Bob Keane, emerged as a significant player in the American music scene, particularly in the genres of rock and roll and rhythm and blues. Based in Los Angeles, the label initially gained prominence for its association with artists like Ritchie Valens, whose hit "La Bamba" became a cultural touchstone. Throughout the late 1950s and early 1960s, Deltone released a variety of singles that showcased the burgeoning rock and roll sound. The label also featured artists such as The Champs and The Five Satins, contributing to its reputation within the doo-wop and instrumental rock genres. Although Deltone's prominence waned in the 1960s, its legacy endures, particularly through its influence on the early rock and roll movement and the preservation of classic tracks that continue to resonate with audiences today.
