@reverend I'm currently working on an article on the career of Theola Kilgore. By coincidence, I just wrote a couple of paragraphs on King Louis H. Narcisse this morning (she made her first record with him).

Trying to confirm some of the facts, I found out that the Ebony magazine did a really good article on him back in 1963:

Louie Robinson: The Kindom of King Narcisse. California Breeds Another Bizarre But Colorful Sect. (Ebony, July 1963)

And of course, there's also a more comprehensive article on his career by Opal Louis Nations, originally published in Blues & Rhythm in 2000, and later used as the liner notes for a CD collection of his recordings, "It's Nice To Be Nice" (Gospel Treasures Records OLN 2001):
