In 2018 more than 350 people enjoyed an insightful and inspiring presentation by former
President/CEO of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Terry Stewart.
We were also honored that members of the King Records family joined us for this year’s Fall Forum.

Sherry Glover Thompson, King Records; Margaret Valentine, CPA Trustee and Fall Forum Chair; Otis Williams, King Records; Terry Stewart, Former President/CEO Rock and Roll Hall of Fame;
Philip Paul, King Records; Kent Butts, King Records LegacyKing Records has been in the news in the past few years and, at the 2018 Fall Forum, our guests heard about the extraordinary roll the studio played in the development of several styles of American music.  King’s location in Cincinnati, a crossroad of both Appalachian and African American migrations of the early to mid-twentieth century made it the perfect place to combine musical traditions.  The Cincinnati location enabled King Records to launch the careers of such diverse legends as James Brown and the Stanley Brothers.   The guests also heard the story of saving the facility from demolition, an effort that included an unprecedented unanimous vote by city council to use imminent domain if necessary.
