| - Constellation Records was an American record label extant from 1963 to 1966. Despite only being in business for a few years, the label was described by the Encyclopedia of Popular Music as "one of the legendary labels of the soul era". Constellation was founded by Ewart Abner in 1963 after he was forced from Vee-Jay Records. His business partners included artist and repertory man Bunky Sheppard and investor Art Sheridan. The label's most successful artist was Gene Chandler. While it was a prominent releaser of Chicago soul music, it also released many singles from New Orleans-based musicians, as well as music in the genres of rock, pop, gospel, and blues. Constellation released approximately 70 singles during its time of operation, many of which were re-released on CD by Collectables Records in later decades. (en)

Ende 1965 ging Abner erneut eine Geschäftsverbindung mit den Brackens, den Eigentümern von Vee-Jay ein; 1966 endeten die Aktivitäten von Constellation. Abner wechselte zum Detroiter Motown Records; Sheppard gründete darauf sein eigenes Label Bunky Records. Das Label ist weder mit dem kanadischen Label Constellation Records noch mit dem Label gleichen Namens von Dick Griffey, das in den 1980er Jahren bestand, zu verwechseln. (de)
