The Film
Sgt. Fitch: The Legacy of Sarg Records explores the advent of Sarg Records, a small, independently owned label cultivated by Charlie Fitch that launched the careers of some of today's rock ‘n roll and country music legends. With his unconventional approach to the recording industry, Fitch redefined Texas music in the 1950s by mixing ethnic styles and genres to create new ones.
