Columbia Records, is an American record label owned by Sony Music Entertainment, a subsidiary of Sony Corporation of America, the North American division of Japanese conglomerate Sony. It was founded in 1887, evolving from the American Graphophone Company, the successor to the Volta Graphophone Company.
Having previously had no substantial rock-and-roll star (apart from belatedly signing Dion at the end of 1962), Columbia—through a mixture of luck and foresight—wound up with three of the main folk-rock acts of the mid-1960s: Bob Dylan, the Byrds, and Simon and Garfunkel.
