Early in its operation, Sunflower obtained the rights to some 1966 vintage concert recordings by the Grateful Dead.
By the time they reached #105, they came up with a fictitious artist called Daddy Dewdrop, who coupled "Chick-A-Boom (Don't Ya Jes' Love It)" with the children's tune "John Jacob Jingleheimer Smith".
Surprisingly, the song "Chick-A-Boom," a wry sexual fantasy put to music, jumped into the national top-10, the biggest hit the label ever had.
The follow-up single, "The March of the White Corpuscles"/"Fox Huntin'" (Sunflower 111), sank without a trace.
Other notable artists on the label included Jasper Wrath, Storm (featuring songwriter Larry Weiss), Tony Scotti, Frankie Laine and R.B.
