King Records 75th Anniversary at Memorial Hall (Highlight Reel)

Описание: Celebrate the 75th Year of King Records with Artists, Live Performances, Storytellers, Writers, Videos and Lifetime Achievement Awards. Our goal is to provide a unique experience by bringing together the King Records community. We plan to develop awareness, identify and support the fan base and celebrate all the King Records artists and musicians of the first 75 years...and beyond.

A portion of tickets from the night will help save the building at 1540 Brewster Avenue – the original building of True American Music – and to support the artists and musicians of King Records.

Music historians have often referred to the melding together of Country & Western and Rhythm & Blues as an origin of the American art form known as Rock and Roll. Cincinnati's King Records was the first record label to cross boundaries between these two distinctive musical styles. Between the years 1943 and 1971 Cincinnati's King Records revolutionized the process in which music was recorded, manufactured, distributed and promoted. Nearly 250 hit songs were recorded and more than 150 million records in the Jazz, Country, Bluegrass and Rhythm & Blues fields were manufactured.
