Most people who know at least a little bit about rockabilly music from the 1950s realize that small independent record labels--most notably Sun Records, Starday Records, Jaxon Records, and a few others--drove the phenomenon called rockabilly. It was these small labels that were willing to try something new and unproven. They gave unknown musician after unknown musician their chance at becoming a rock and roll star. But although the big labels weren't about to be the first to take a chance on these unknown rockabilly cats, it didn't take them long to jump on the bandwagon once those rockabilly records started selling in real quantities!
