Starting with a few songs and a dream in 1943; King Recordsmdash;a leading American independentmdash;launched musical careers from a shabby brick factory on Brewster Avenue in Cincinnatirsquo;s Evanston neighborhood. Founder Sydney Nathan recorded country singers Cowboy Copas; Hawkshaw Hawkins; Wayne Raney; and others and later added black acts such as James Brown and the Famous Flames; Bull Moose Jackson; Hank Ballard and the Midnighters; Lonnie Johnson; and Freddy King. Meanwhile; King also explored polka; jazz; bluegrass; comedy; gospel; pop; and instrumental musicmdash;anything that Nathan could sell. Although Kingrsquo;s Cincinnati factory closed in 1971; the companyrsquo;s diverse catalog of roots music had already become a phenomenon. Its legacy lives on in hundreds of classic recordings that are prized by collectors and musicians.
