Kings Go Forth is a ten-member American soul ensemble originating from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, recognized for their vintage 1970s soul influence and classic recording methods.
The group was established in 2007 by Andy Noble, who previously owned the now-defunct Milwaukee record store Lotus Land Records. The primary songwriting partnership consisted of Noble alongside lead singer Black Wolf. Subsequently, Noble broadened his entrepreneurial scope by founding vinyl-focused stores We Buy Records in Milwaukee (2018) and Chicago (2020).
Following the release of multiple 7" singles, Kings Go Forth secured a deal with Luaka Bop and unveiled their first full-length album, The Outsiders Are Back, in 2010. Their sound attracted acclaim due to its genuine soul character and high-quality production. Vocalist and co-writer Jesse "Black Wolf" Bilal died in May 2023.
