| Cameo Records was founded in December 1956 in Philadelphia by Bernie Lowe and Kal Mann. Dave Appell joined the label early as A&R director. Mann and Appell also became a songwriting team and wrote many of the labels' hits. Parkway, initially a subsidiary label, was formed in 1958 and in 1962 the parent company was renamed from Cameo to Cameo-Parkway, to give both labels equal status. In mid 1967, Cameo-Parkway became a subsidiary of MGM Records. By late 1967, after their financial problems worsened, the Cameo-Parkway company was sold to Allen Klein and renamed ABKCO Records, with Bell Records acquiring its remaining subsidiary Vando label. | |||
