CAMEO-PARKWAY RECORDS WAS THE PARENT COMPANY OF CAMEO RECORDS AND PARKWAY RECORDS, WHICH WERE MAJOR AMERICAN PHILADELPHIA BASED RECORD LABELS FROM 1956 (FOR CAMEO) AND 1958 (FOR PARKWAY) TO 1967. AMONG THE TYPES OF MUSIC RELEASED WERE DOO-WOP, DANCE HITS, POPULAR, ROCK'N'ROLL, ROCKABILLY, BIG BAND, GARAGE ROCK, SOUL AND NOVELTY RECORDS.

UNTIL 1962, CAMEO WAS ALSO THE PARENT COMPANY NAME FOR BOTH LABELS, AND PARKWAY WAS A SUBSIDIARY. IN 1962, THE PARENT COMPANY WAS RENAMED FROM CAMEO TO CAMEO-PARKWAY, TO GIVE BOTH LABELS EQUAL STATUS. IN SOME FOREIGN MARKETS CAMEO-PARKWAY WAS ALSO A LABEL NAME, ISSUING RECORDS BY ARTISTS FROM BOTH LABELS. THE TWO BIGGEST NAMED ARTISTS ON THE CAMEO-PARKWAY ROSTER WERE CHUBBY CHECKER AND BOBBY RYDELL. OTHER LESSER KNOWN ARTISTS WERE CHARLIE GRACIE, THE DOVELLS, THE ORLONS, THE RAYS, DEE DEE SHARP AND JO ANN CAMPBELL.
