The Richie Records Discography
Vince Rago owned and managed the Wilmington, Delaware-based Richie Records from 1961-1968. His label featured Soul, Doo-wop, Pop, Rock, and Psychedelic artists from the Delaware Valley. As a talent scout for the area, he nurtured the musical careers of dozens of area singer-songwriters and fueled the dreams of thousands.
Hangnail Phillips has compiled this discography in fond memory of a man who, at his own expense, brought so much encouragement to musicians from Philadelphia and Baltimore to the Jersey shore. Hangnail’s first trip to a recording studio in 1967 with The Exotics was funded by Vince Rago.
