- Tear_Drop_Records abstract "Tear Drop Records was a record label founded in Winnie, Texas, in the early 1960s by recording pioneer and radio personality, Huey P Meaux. As a deejay, Meaux was known as the "Crazy Cajun", a name that stuck with him throughout his long, music career. In 1964, Meaux moved his Tear Drop label and his Crazy Cajun Enterprises to Conroe, Texas, where he partnered with a seasoned record producer, Foy Lee. They not only continued to release new material, but also started various subsidiary labels including Capri Records, Tribe Records, and Eric Records. Together, Meaux and Lee produced many chart singles on the Tear Drop label. They became nationally distributed by Jay Gee Records (J/G) which was owned by Jamie Records in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.Tear Drop's biggest hit was "Talk to Me" by Sunny & The Sunglows from San Antonio, Texas, which broke into Billboard's Top 100. Meaux and Lee also scored another hit in 1964 by Gene Summers & The Tom Toms entitled "Big Blue Diamonds" on their newly formed Capri Records label and later released Summers' rockabilly classic, "Alabama Shake", also on Capri. In the 1970s, Meaux reactivated the Crazy Cajun record label and began to produce records by early-1960s rocker, Freddy Fender. He scored the biggest hit of his career when Fender's "Before The Next Teardrop Falls" single broke through all chart boundaries and went platinum selling over a million copies. By this time, Meaux had purchased both the SugarHill Recording Studios in Houston, Texas, and the TNT Records pressing plant in San Antonio.".
