Description
AutographAuthentic.com Autographed BB King Album Museum Framed BB KING: Riley B. King was born on September 16, 1925 to Albert and Nora Ella King on a cotton plantation in Indianola, Mississippi. King was musically influenced by a preacher at the Holiness Church in Carmichael named Archie Fair. He taught King how to play guitar and sing early in life. In 1947, with his guitar and $2.50, he hitchhiked north to Memphis, Tennessee, to follow his musical career. Memphis was the city where almost every important musician of the South gravitated, and it was a large competitive musical community where almost all black musical styles were heard. There B. B. King stayed with his cousin Bukka White. White, who taught B. B. further in the art of the blues, was one of the most renowned rural blues performers of his time (B. B. King's Worldblues) The first big break came for B. B. in 1948 when he performed on Sonny Boy Williamson’s radio program on KWEM out of West Memphis. This led to steady performances for B. B. About the same time he became a full-time disc jockey. One-day King was playing guitar in a small dance hall in Twist, Arkansas. In the course of the evening, two men got into a fight over a woman who today is known only as Lucille. Words and threats soon developed into punches, and as these two men were fighting, one knocked a kerosene lamp down, and the place caught on fire. Almost everyone escaped the fire, but when B. B. realized he had left his guitar inside he went back to get it, and he barely escaped the fire. Later when he realized the incident was caused by the lady named Lucille, he named his guitar “Lucille” (The Guinness Encyclopedia of Popular Music). Over the years, B. B. has become one of the most celebrated American Musicians in this world. B. B. King’s achievements are enormous, and to date he has received seven Grammy Awards. He also received numerous awards for achievements in various part of music. Many different prestigious colleges including Yale, Berkeley, and Rhodes College of Memphis gave B. B. King an honorary doctorate ( B. B. King: King of the Blues). B. B. King is a songwriter, bar owner, performer, legend, and the undisputed “King of the Blues.” He is a great person by any standards. He is a living legends in our time. His effect on music will always be remembered, and everyone will cherish his songs generations to come (The Guinness Encyclopedia of Popular Music).
