Didn't James Brown record a bunch of hits in that studio? Some local group should get up efforts to create the James Brown Museum and Educational Center there, like what Al Bell and others did with the Stax site (the old movie theater had been torn down so there's a new building on the site of what was Stax Studios and the Satellite Record Store). In this case, if the King studio building is still intact, they can do along the lines of what was done with the old Motown studio in Detroit -- set it up to operate and look like when James Brown was there. I know King did a bunch of other stuff, but wasn't James Brown the most famous, most likely to draw the most attention? -- Tom Fine ----- Original Message ----- From: "David Lewis" <[log in to unmask]> To: <[log in to unmask]> Sent: Wednesday, October 07, 2015 7:04 AM Subject: [ARSCLIST] Good News About the King Building > [forwarded by Uncle Dave Lewis] > > For Immediate Release > Contacts: > Patti Collins 513-236-2724 > Marvin Hawkins 513-448-8980 > Ed Vardiman 859-801-3543 > > > *Mayor Cranley and City Council Expected to Designate King Records Landmark* > *--> Owner is suing to demolish the actual studio structure where civil > rights, economic inclusion made culture that changed the world* > > > > (Cincinnati OH) After unanimous votes from the Historic Conservation Board, > Planning Commission, and City Council Neighborhoods Committee, City Council > and Mayor Cranley are poised to designate the remaining former King Records > buildings and parcels as a Landmark Designation.
