Bernie Lowe founded Philadelphia's Cameo Records in 1956, and Cameo was later expanded into the Parkway label. With Parkway the two then signed an unknown singer, Ernest Evans, to their burgeoning label. Ernest Evans would soon change his name to Chubby Checker, which helped Cameo/Parkway become one of the largest independent record labels in America. Bernie Lowe is credited with writing the song "Butterfly" which helped launch and further the career of Charlie Gracie, the eminent '50s Philadelphia "Rock 'n' Roller" just as the term was entering into the cultural lexicon. Lowe also launched the careers of Dee Dee Sharp, Bobby Rydell, The Orlons, The Dovells, and The Tymes. Bernie Lowe died in Wyncote, Pennsylvania, a suburb of Philadelphia, on September 1, 1993.
