In 1964, Meaux moved his Tear Drop label and his Crazy Cajun Enterprises to Conroe, Texas, where he partnered with a seasoned record producer, Foy Lee.
Tear Drop's biggest hit was "Talk to Me" by Sunny & the Sunglows from San Antonio, Texas, which broke into the Billboard Top 100.
Meaux and Lee also scored another hit in 1964 by Gene Summers & the Tom Toms entitled "Big Blue Diamonds" on their newly formed Capri Records label and later released Summers' rockabilly classic, "Alabama Shake", also on Capri.
He scored the biggest hit of his career when Fender's "Before The Next Teardrop Falls" single broke through all chart boundaries and went platinum selling over a million copies.
