Columbus
Shenandoah was started by Columbus country singer Bobby Butler to help the local country music scene. He hoped that the label would provide the starting point for national success for himself and the other acts, but unfortunately none of the many 45s broke out beyond the local area. The label was started in 1961. Although most of the records are in the country style, a couple records (Debbie Clark and Bobby Turner) say "Rock & Roll Series".
