SPECIALTY
RECORDS - HOLLYWOOD CALIFORNIA
Art Rupe, legendary record producer & founder of
SPECIALTY RECORDS
•
•
The end of 1957 saw Specialty with three top ten records
Larry Williams, "Bony Moronie," Sam Cooke's, "I'll Come
Running Back to You," and Little Richard's, "Keep
A-Knockin'" -- featured in the Jane Mansfield movie, "The
Girl Can't Help It".
•
•
1958 saw Specialty's last Top Ten record "Good Golly Miss
Molly, " a Little Richard master from 1956. Troy Cory's new
single,Down On The Beach and
Just One More Chance (1958)
produced by Sonny, failed to hit the charts. His first
single, "I'm Just A Lost Ball", released just after Sam
Cooke's, "I'll Come Running Back to You", made a few charts
in the mixed country/pop charts.
•
•
That, and the Sonny Bono, Troy Cory and Tip Tobin efforts to
effect a "special" comedy team dj show, an outer space movie
deal, the lose of Little Richard, the break up of Rupes
marriage, and the feeling that he should have listened to
the lyrics of Sam Cooke's hit, "Darling You Send Me" a
little closer, before letting him go, caused Rupe to lose
interest in the record business.
•
•
Having made big bucks from other financial business
interest, and tired of the many music and publication
business headaches, he turned the day-to-day operations over
to others, and moved his offices to the building that's now
the West Hollywood City Hall. Of course Sonny Bono became
Sonny and Cher, Mayor of Palm Springs, then a member of the
U.S. House of Representattives, before his death.
