Doré Records

Doré Records, pronounced "dorrie" and with an accent on the "e" was a sublabel of Era Records.

It was founded in 1958 by Herb Newman and Lou Bedell. Their first big hit was "To Know Him Is To Love Him" by The Teddy Bears, written by Phil Spector who was a member of the group. Among the early staff at Doré were Herb Alpert and Lou Adler. Alpert brought in the duo of Jan and Dean who gave Doré the hit single "Baby Talk."

Doré's most successful act was the comedy duo of Hudson & Landry. The catalogue is now owned by Ace Records of the UK.
