- King Records is an American record label, started in 1943 by Syd Nathan and headquartered in Cincinnati, Ohio. At first it specialized in country music, at the time still known as "hillbilly music. " King advertised, "If it's a King, It's a Hillbilly -- If it's a Hillbilly, it's a King. " One of the label's most important hits was "I'm Using My Bible for a Road Map" by Reno and Smiley. Very important recordings in this field were done by The Delmore Brothers and Wayne Raney featuring their close harmony vocals, harmonica, electric guitar and string band playing. The company also had a "Race Records" label, Queen Records (which was melded into the King label within a year or two) and most notably (starting in 1950) Federal Records which launched the singing career of James Brown. In the 1950s, this side of the business outpaced the hillbilly recordings. King Records was highly successful after the hiring of Ralph Bass and recorded R&B artists like Joe Tex, Valerie Carr, Roy Brown, Jack Dupree, Otis Williams & the Charms, Hank Ballard & the Midnighters, Ivory Joe Hunter and Johnny "Guitar" Watson. They also had a long legal battle with James Brown, after he repeatedly violated his King contract. King also bought out several other record labels, including De Luxe Records (in 1952), and Bethlehem Records. When Nathan died in 1968, King Records was acquired by Hal Neely's Starday Records and relaunched as 'Starday and King Records'. The legendary songwriting duo Leiber & Stoller bought the label in 1970, but sold it soon afterwards to Lin Broadcasting which in turn sold it to Tennessee Recording & Publishing, owned by Freddy Bienstock, Hal Neely, Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller; who sold it in 1974 to Gusto Records. In 1971, James Brown's recording contract and back catalogue were sold to Polydor Records. Since 2001, Collectables Records has been remastering and reissuing the King Records catalogue. King Records is now only used as a record label under the parent company, Gusto Records.

- King records est un label indépendant américain fondé en 1944 par Sydney Nathan à Cincinnati. D'abord spécialisée dans la musique country, la firme s'est rapidement tournée vers le rhythm and blues. Nathan a créé ensuite les sous-label Queen et Federal. Il a racheté les compagnies Deluxe et Betlehem Records. Quand Syd Nathan mourut en 1968, la société fut vendue à Starday et devint « Starday and King Records ». Elle fut reprise en 1970 par le célèbre duo d'auteurs compositeurs Jerry Leiber & Mike Stoller, qui la revendirent presqu'aussitôt à Lin Broadcasting qui la transfera immédiatement à Gusto Records. Depuis 2001, Collectables Records a remasterisé et réédité une partie du catalogue King.

- King Records foi um selo de gravação fundado em 1943 por Syd Nathan em Cincinnati, Ohio. O selo foi um dos primeiros a enxergar potencial na música negra. Foi vendido em 1968 para Starday Records, mudando seu nome para Starday King. Em 1971 a Starday vendeu o contrato de James Brown (um dos seus principais artistas) para a Polydor Records. Em 1975, um selo chamado Gusto relançou algum dos discos do catálogo da King, com selos e a arte dos discos fiéis aos originais.
