Fabor Robison created Fabor Records to replace Abbott Records as the principal outlet for his songs and productions. At Abbott Records, Robison had a drug-store-owner partner who was not part of Fabor Records. Robison set himself up with a home-studio compound in Malibu where he cut many of his artists with many of the songs he published at Dandelion Music. This thriving home industry revolved around Robison's excellent ears for pop music and pop music performers. His studio was a hotbed of talent. His first success created iconic talent like Johnny Horton and Jim Reeves, who left Robison to go to major labels, RCA for Jim Reeves and Columbia via Mercury for Johnny Horton.

Robison continued to sell his successful artists to major labels, like getting Bonnie Guitar's "Dark Moon" to Dot Records. But he also kept his artists like Ned Miller, who had his hit "From a Jack To a King" released twice. Mitchell Torok had a prolific career on Fabor and a number artists had one-off hits.
