At its height, King Records was the sixth-largest recording company in America. Not only was King Records a prolific hit maker, but it was also racially integrated; with the musicians who recorded there and the executive team. Ben’s interviews with King musicians illuminate a fascinating story of Cincinnati’s musical and cultural history.
