Collection: For the Love of King Records

In collaboration with over 100 artists from all over the world...an incredible compilation of funk, jazz, R&B, soul, blues, rock, doo-wop, bluegrass, and country in an LP & CD series dedicated to raising awareness for the legacy and revival of the King Records studio in Cincinnati, OH.

In 1943, Syd Nathan launched King Records in the community of Evanston in Cincinnati, Ohio, and built the company into one of the most important, successful, and influential record companies in history.

​The label owned several divisions, recording such country luminaries as the Stanley Brothers, R&B doo-wop star Otis Williams, and funk pioneer James Brown. King Records was in operation until 1975.

​At a time when segregation was still the norm around the country, King Records was fully integrated from the recording studio to the packaging plant. Recognizing this legacy and bringing this history to life is our goal, and we would love your help.
