La lingua; larte; la grande cultura che fanno parte di una vera e propria civiltagrave; toscana; hanno la loro radice in questa gente e nella campagna in cui essa egrave; vissuta fin dai tempi etruschi; facendola diventare col proprio lavoro unopera darte. Lo scrittore ce ne restituisce lautentica parlata; con le sue colorite espressioni; pur senza indulgere al vernacolo; le usanze e tutto un patrimonio che egrave; oggi importante recuperare e salvare; dopo il saccheggio e linvolgarimento degli ultimi decenni.

Syd Nathan created this music empire in 1943 and King became a major player in the development of rhythm blues; country music; and bluegrass. Nathan had a strong sense of public taste and he defied the tradition of the day by marketing black oriented music to the general public. This book features many good pictures of the King studios and production facilities as well as virtually every major and minor artist who recorded for the label. The cover photo of mail room employees at work tells the story of an early success at integration in a city steeped in southern traditions. The well written descriptions of the photos provide a fine overview of Kings history. If you are interested in the development of American music genres; youll want this book in your collection.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Small but impressiveBy W. SchwertmannDont expect an indepth biography of King Records. While this is a book from the "Images of America" series its above all a book full of wonderfull pictures of the founder; Syd Nathan and recording King artists - from Harold Hawkins to James Brown - accompanied by some explainatory text. Because of the variety of pictures the book provides a nice and rather complete impression of the King Records. Some pictures - and you dont often see those - show the production line of King Records: the pressing plant; the work on the stamper; the packaging process etc. Very nice. You can read the book in a weekend but its worth while the money. Like King Records; small but impressive.Willem Schwertmann0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Pictorial History Of An Important Small Independent LabelBy Michael L. SlavinThe author is a record producer with a strong interest and background in compiling information about small independent labels. I grew up in the 50s listening to King/Federal recordings of Hank Ballard The Midnighters; Earl Bostic; Bull Moose Jackson; Billy Ward And The Dominoes; Tiny Bradshaw; Bill Doggett. The book also pointed out how King had originally signed a number of artists who went on to greater success elsewhere such as Steve Lawrence; Guy Mitchell; Trini Lopez. I hadnt realized that the real start of the label in 1943 was in the country/western area. After 30 years the catalogue was sold in 1973. This was a quick;fun; informative read.
