King of the Hill: A 70th Anniversary Retrospective of Cincinnati’s King Records (2014)

August 8, 2014Music, Documentary, History0h 10m

Overview

James Brown was the jewel in the crown, but the throne of Cincinnati’s King Records always belonged to its irascible founder, Syd Nathan. This is the 70th anniversary of the legendary record label and studio. It closed shop nearly 40 years ago, in a now long-neglected warehouse on the neighborhood border of Evanston and Walnut Hills, but its impact still reverberates across today’s music.
