Capri Records was a rock and roll record label established in Conroe, Texas, by Huey P. Meaux and Foy Lee in the early 1960s. It started the careers of many Texas musicians and furthered the careers of Gene Summers, Gaylon Christie, Scotty McKay, and Pat Minter.
Capri was a subsidiary of Crazy Cajun Enterprises, which also owned Tear Drop Records, Shane Records, and Crazy Cajun Records. The label's biggest hit came in 1964 with the release of "Big Blue Diamonds" by Gene Summers and the Tom Toms (Capri 502). Capri released some of Steve Tyrell's earliest recordings. Teardrop released B.J. Thomas's first hit, "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry". The recording was later bought and released by Scepter Records. Tyrell was responsible for making that deal as an executive at Scepter.
