Editing New Orleans Rhythm Kings (section)

===Record reissues===
A significant period of time after NORK disbanded, several record labels began reissuing the band's material. The first revival was by [[Riverside Records]], which reissued NORK's Gennett recordings.<ref name= "bix" /> The second reissue was from [[Milestone Records]]. Both of these reissues were important in keeping NORK's music commercially available and boosting their visibility to critics and historians. In the 1990s Milestone released the band's Gennett sides on compact disc.<ref name= "bix"/> Six of the first eight recordings for Gennett under the Friars Society Orchestra name are on disk A of the four-CD ''Gennett Jazz'' set issued by JSP Records (JSP926). In 2019 [[Rivermont Records]] released a two-CD set featuring new transfers by Doug Benson. Using newly developed restoration technology, Benson stabilized the intermittent speed fluctuations that affected records from the band's 1922 session as Friar's Society Orchestra.

Compositions and arrangements by the New Orleans Rhythm Kings continue to be played by "traditional jazz" or [[Dixieland]] bands all over the world today. Some of their famous compositions and contributions to the jazz repertory include "[[Bugle Call Rag]]", "[[Milneburg|Milenburg]] Joys", "[[Farewell Blues]]", "Angry", "Baby", "Discontented Blues", "She's Crying for Me", "Oriental", "I Never Knew What a Girl Could Do", "Everybody Loves Somebody Blues", and "[[Tin Roof Blues]]".

"[[Make Love to Me (1954 song)|Make Love to Me]]", a 1954 pop song by [[Jo Stafford]], using the New Orleans Rhythm King's music from the 1923 jazz standard "Tin Roof Blues", became a number 1 hit. [[Anne Murray]] and [[B. B. King]] also recorded "Make Love to Me". Jo Stafford's recording of "Make Love to Me" was number 1 for three weeks on the ''Billboard'' chart and number 2 on the ''Cashbox'' chart.
