1911

Walter D. Williams, Jr. (June 17, 1911 – August 21, 1991), known as Dootsie Williams, was an American record producer and record label owner who released early records by Redd Foxx and The Penguins.

Williams was born in Mobile, Alabama, in 1911, and by 1918 had moved with his family to Los Angeles.

While performing at gigs, he came up with the idea of recording other artists.

1949

In 1949, Williams founded the Blue Records label.

Two years later he changed the name to Dootone.

One of the first artists he recorded on Dootone was a violinist named Johnny Creach, who years later would become popular as Papa John Creach.

1954

In 1954, he recorded a local group called The Penguins, who would have a huge hit with "Earth Angel".
