Description by OLDIES.com:

Cincinnati-based King Records played an important role in Rock & Roll history. King was the first of the post-war indie record labals to integrate R&B and pop music, and by the early 1950's, was the sixth largest label in the United States. It was also an early home to artists including Merle Travis, Grandpa Jones, Homer & Jethro, Amos Milburn and Charles Brown. James Brown's biggest hits were also on the King label. In 1997, Syd Nathan was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.
