=== Record companies ===
With his producer, [[Aubrey Mayhew]], Paycheck co-owned his [[record company|Little Darlin' Records]]. Paycheck's recordings by Little Darlin' featured the pedal steel guitar work of [[Lloyd Green]]. By the end of the 1960s, Little Darlin' Records folded. Mayhew and Paycheck soon created Certron Records, a newly formed recording company owned by Certron (a manufacturer of audio and video tape). The label was able to sign [[Bobby Helms]], [[Ronnie Dove]], [[Clint Eastwood]], [[Pozo-Seco Singers]] (as Pozo Seco), and Paycheck. After the move to Certron, the label was unable to make a profit and closed by 1972.<ref>{{cite web |url= http://www.bsnpubs.com/tennessee/certron/certron.html |title= Certron Album Discography |website= Bsnpubs.com |date= May 26, 2010 |access-date= April 15, 2020 |archive-date= June 5, 2020 |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20200605194251/http://bsnpubs.com/tennessee/certron/certron.html |url-status= live }}</ref> In the late 1990s, after decades ignored, Little Darlin' recordings received recognition by country music historians for their distinctive and sharp-edged sound, considered unique in their time—Paycheck's in particular.{{Citation needed |date= March 2008}}
