From 1968 to 1971, King was owned by Starday, or more accurately, both Starday and King were
owned by Lin Broadcasting of Nashville. In 1971, Lin sold James Brown's contract to Polydor, then sold
the labels to Tennessee Recording and Publishing, a company formed by Lieber and Stoller. Although
Starday had made minimal changes in the label design, the new company completely redesigned the
label to a yellow color with a sitting king on the right side. Surprisingly, King then went semi-comatose on
releases, putting out only a few albums in the next four years, before it sold the company to GML, Inc. of
Nashville, better known as Gusto.
