Shelby Singleton, who ran Smash Records in the '60s and later bought the Sun Records label from Sam Phillips, promoting its large catalog of legendary music, died Wednesday (October 7) in Nashville at the age of 77. Shelby had been suffering from brain cancer. He signed artists like Roger Miller and Ray Stevens and acquired hits from smaller labels like Bruce Channel's "Hey! Baby" and "Hey Paula" from Paul and Paula, but also produced his own hits-- including Jeannie C. Riley's "Harper Valley P.T.A." It's said that he once recorded three #1 country hits in one day with three different artists
