Baton's first record, and subsequent hit, was "A Thousand Stars" by the R&B group the Rivileers.
The label's most enduring hit is arguably "Got My Mojo Working" written by Preston Foster and first recorded by singer Ann Cole in 1957.
Waters had heard Cole sing the song while they were on tour together and adopted it as his own.
A court later ruled that the song was indeed written by Foster, who [as of 1998] is still receiving royalties for "Mojo".
Rabinowitz wound up the Baton label in 1959.
