Nashville-based rhythm and blues group that became fixtures in the city's vibrant music scene during the 1960s. Originally formed in 1962, the ensemble evolved into a dynamic live act, performing regularly at venues throughout North Nashville and Printer's Alley while serving as the house band for the local television program *Night Train*. Led by vocalist Johnny Jones from the mid-1960s onward, the group developed a distinctive R&B sound that resonated across both regional and international audiences.
The King Casuals recorded a series of singles that gained particular traction in Northern soul circles, with their track "Purple Haze" becoming a staple in Midlands and Northern England clubs during the late 1960s and early 1970s. Their work exemplified the soul and R&B traditions that influenced electronic and dance music producers, contributing to the broader musical legacy of Nashville's session and live music culture. Jones continued his musical output into the 2000s, releasing the solo album *Blues Is In the House* in 2001.
