After Hours / King Records Story

undefined

Look at the tracklisting of this 75-track three-disc set and the names that jump out at you constitute a roll call of some of the most influential soul and rhythm and blues performers of the late Fifties and early Sixties. The fact that they all appeared on one label, King, shows how important they were in being one of the early pace setters in the R&B field.
