Helena, Arkansas was the capital of the blues before Elvis and Memphis.

Started in 1941, King Biscuit Time is the longest running radio broadcast company in the nation.

It was the first radio show to feature the blues and the first radio show to broadcast live blues performances.

It was one of the earliest examples of integrated radio in the south.

It was so pivotal in broadcasting the blues sound around the nation and the world that influenced artists such as Elvis, Cash, The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Eric Clapton and many future artists.
