Kansas City is a 1996 crime film, directed by Robert Altman and starring Jennifer Jason Leigh, Miranda Richardson, Harry Belafonte, Michael Murphy and Steve Buscemi. Kansas City is also notable for its musical score being integrated into the film, with modern-day musicians recreating the Kansas City jazz of 1930s.
The film was entered into the 1996 Cannes Film Festival.
"Kansas City" is a song from the musical Oklahoma!. The plot set-up for it is the return of cowboy Will Parker from an excursion to the city of the same name. He describes his experiences in song. The song describes the wonders of there and its entertainments (from the viewpoint of a country bumpkin), all reprising with the concept that the conditions (in 1906) represent the ultimate in progress, with little more expected.
For the 1955 motion picture, a few lyrics about a burlesque stripteaser had to undergo minor changes to pass film censorship. In the original Broadway musical, Will sings:
I could swear that she was padded from her shoulder to her heel. But later in the second act, when she began to peel, She proved that everything she had was absolutely real! For the film, these were changed to: I could swear that she was padded from her shoulder to her heel. But then she started dancing and her dancing made me feel That every single thing she had was absolutely real!"Kansas City" is a rhythm and blues song written by Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller in 1952. First recorded by Little Willie Littlefield the same year, the song later became a #1 hit when it was recorded by Wilbert Harrison in 1959. "Kansas City" became one of Leiber and Stoller's "most recorded tunes, with more than three hundred versions," with several appearing in the R&B and pop record charts.
"Kansas City" is the first single by Australian dance group Sneaky Sound System, taken from their second studio album 2.
Kansas City, Missouri was granted a charter franchise in the American Basketball Association in February 1967.
On February 2, 1967, the ABA was created. One of the charter teams announced that day was an unnamed Kansas City franchise. The Kansas City team was awarded for $35,000 to James B. Trindle.
On March 27, 1967, Vince Boryla was named general manager of the Kansas City team.
The Kansas City team had ongoing problems finding an arena to host their games in Kansas City.
On April 1, 1967 due to an inability to nail down an arena deal in their home city the Kansas City franchise was relocated to Denver and named the Denver Larks.
Trindle had ongoing financial problems with the team, leading Boryla to resign and ultimately to the team being sold to J. William Ringsby, the owner of Rocket Truck Lines. Ringsby soon renamed the team the Denver Rockets in homage to his trucking business.
The Denver Rockets played in the ABA from 1967 through 1974.
In 1974 the team became the Denver Nuggets and played as such through the ABA's final two seasons. With the ABA-NBA merger in 1976 the Denver Nuggets joined the NBA and continue to play in that league to the present day.
Professional basketball returned to Kansas City in the fall of 1972 when the Cincinnati Royals relocated there and became the Kansas City Kings. The Kings left for Sacramento, California in 1985 and Kansas City has been without an NBA franchise since then.
