''' Spark Records''' was a [[record label]] started by [[Jerry Leiber]] and [[Mike Stoller]] around [[1954 in music|1954]] in Los Angeles, California. Artists released on Spark Records included [[Willy & Ruth]], [[The Sly Fox]], Ervin "Big Boy" Groves, and [[The Robins]].  Leiber and Stoller eventually decided that while they wanted to write songs and make records, but did not want to deal with the mechanics of publishing records, so they sold the label to [[Atlantic Records]].<ref>{{Pop Chronicles |13| 4|Leiber & Stoller}}</ref>
