The first hit was local girl Cathy Carr's rendition of a Tin Pan Alley song, "Ivory Tower" in 1956. It made #2, besting a cover version by Otis Williams & the Charms. A year later came the Jimmy Dorsey instrumental "So Rare", the famous bandleader's final hit before his death. 1959 saw the label's first #1, Bill Parsons' "The All American Boy".[2] Parsons was a friend of country singer Bobby Bare and it was actually Bare's voice heard on the hit[3] - Parsons sang on the B side. Fraternity also leased songs from smaller labels, including one track by Jackie Shannon (later Jackie DeShannon). Fraternity's biggest-selling hit was Lonnie Mack's 1963 guitar instrumental, "Memphis", which rose to #5 on Billboard′s Pop chart and #4 on Billboard′s R&B chart. The final national Top 40 hit for the label was "Then You Can Tell Me Goodbye" by The Casinos, which reached #6 on the Billboard pop chart in 1967. Shad O'Shea purchased the company from Carlson in 1975. Applegate Recording Society was also a subsidiary label of Fraternity. See also
