The King of Clubs, located just north of Swifton (Jackson County) on U.S. Highway 67, operated for more than fifty years under the ownership of Bob and Evelyn King. The club was a familiar stop for some of the most famous pioneers in rock and roll in the 1950s and was especially favored by those who played the more Southern form of rock commonly termed rockabilly. Future stars such as Johnny Cash, Conway Twitty, and Elvis Presley played at the club.
