Now to solve the record problem. With the agreement from Walker in hand and a recent copy of the record charts, Williamson went to Sound of Nashville, a record pressing plant that also had a good distribution setup. An agreement was made with Joe Talbot, who was then head of Sound of Nashville, whereas Sound of Nashville would press the records, ship them, and collect the money, then they would pay Chart Records. It was kind of a reverse process, but it started the label in business! "Lookin' For More In '64" wound up selling over 42,000 copies and stayed on the charts for 27 weeks, peaking at number 7 on Billboard's Country Charts! A huge hit for an independent label's first official outing! Nesbitt went on to chart 8 more singles and 2 LP's between 1965 and 1970.

1964 also saw the formation of Peach Music, Inc. which was affiliated with SESAC. SESAC had just opened their Nashville office and was looking for publishers. Peach Music, Inc was the first signed for the Nashville office. Roy Drusky, and old friend from back in Georgia, was head of the office and Lloyd Green was his assistant.  Green met Williamson his first day on the job and was instantly hired to play steel on a session being produced that week. It wasn't long before Green was hired as session leader, a position he held until Williamson sold the label 10 years later. Nesbitt's"Looking For More In '64" was one of SESAC's first big hits and started things rolling for a lot of people. 

1965 and 1966 were booming years for Chart. Not only was Jim Nesbitt consistently hitting the charts with hits like "Mother In Law" and "A Tiger In My Tank", but October 1965 would become the turning point for the little label with the signing of Lynn Anderson.

On a whim Anderson decided to accompany her parents to Nashville to the Disc Jockey Convention. This was an annual event held in October in conjunction with the Grand Ole Opry birthday celebration.  Liz Anderson, Lynn's mother, was going to receive an award for her song "Strangers" and it seemed like a fun thing to do for a seventeen year old to visit the place she had heard so much about. Never had she imagined the course of events that would follow that fateful trip! Liz was at the RCA booth and Chart was setup nearby. Slim Williamson, always on the lookout for new and fresh talent, overheard someone singing with Merle Haggard. When he looked to see who it was he discovered it to be none other than Liz Anderson's daughter, Lynn. Liz and Slim had been friends for many years and Liz had been one of the more prolific writers for Williamson's Yonah Music, Inc., a publishing company that had given Warner Mack "The Bridge Washed Out".  As a matter of fact, she wrote many of Charts first "hits". After listening to Lynn sing, he asked her if she would like to cut a record. After much discussion with her parents, it was decided that she would. The very next day they were in the studio working on "We're Different" and "For Better Or For Worse" with Jerry Lane, another fine singer/songwriter at Chart, also assigned to Yonah Music. Although this single didn't exactly tear up the charts, it did pave the way for her first solo release "In Person". Her third outing, a bouncy little number written by Liz Anderson called "Ride, Ride, Ride" rode straight up the charts! It helped establish Lynn as a major force in country music. Almost all of Lynn's subsequent records hit the top of the charts.

1967 brought Lynn's first LP, "Ride, Ride, Ride" (LP-1000). It included the hugely successful title song, along with the very popular "If I Kiss You (Will You Go Away) [Billboard Top 5], plus one of her very own, "My Heart Keeps Walkin' The Floor".  The world was also discovering Junior Samples in 1967. "The World Of Junior Samples" (CLP-1005) was a smash hit also. "The Worlds Biggest Whopper" brought Junior into the spotlight and led the way to him becoming a regular on  the "Hee Haw" television series.

According to Billboard, between 1964 and 1967 Chart hit country's top 50 an amazing 18 times!

The address for Chart Records was still P.O. Box 73, Nashville, Tenn. thru release number 1095. Releases 1100 thru 1140 gave no address, but beginning with release number 1145 Chart displayed a physical street address on their records. Gary Walker had offices located at 905 16th Ave South when he ran Chart Records along with his other enterprises. When Chart was purchased by Slim & Ott they took over the offices and the same PO Box was maintained for mail. Late in 1964 they began listing 905 16th Ave S. as their physical address. They stayed there thru release number 1180.

Beginning with 1185 in January 1965 Chart moved to 806 17th Ave S., which was the new RCA building. They were to move one more time. Beginning with Lynn Andersons first release with Jerry Lane, number 1300 in January 1966, the Capitol Records building located at 806 16th Ave South would be the home of Chart Records until 1975.

The color scheme of the records starting with release number 1065 running thru 1495 was black graphics and lettering on a red label. During this period Chart released 4 long playing albums. Jim Nesbitt's "Sings Comedy and Heart Songs" (CLP-6500) in 1964, Lynn Anderson's "Ride, Ride, Ride" (LP-1000), Junior Samples' "The World of Junior Samples" (CLP 1005) in the spring of 1967 and Sammy Poole's "In Gods Country" in the summer of 1967. The latter 3 were re-released as CHS-1001, CHS-1002, and CHS-1003, respectively, in September 1967.
