Riley B. King

 (September 16, 1925 – May 14, 2015), 

known professionally as 

B. B. King

 was an 

American 

blues guitarist, 

singer, 

songwriter, 

and 

record producer. 

He introduced a 

sophisticated style

 of soloing based on 

fluid string bending, 

shimmering vibrato, 

and staccato picking

 that influenced many

 later electric

 guitar blues players.

AllMusic recognized

 King as

 "the single most important 

electric guitarist

 of the last half 

of the 20th century".

He was inducted into 

the Rock and Roll 

Hall of Fame in 1987

 and is one 

of the most

 influential blues musicians

 of all time, 

earning the nickname

 "The King of the Blues", 

and is referred to

 as one of the

 "Three Kings of the Blues Guitar"

 along with

 Albert King 

and

 Freddie King, 

(none of whom are related).

 King performed 

tirelessly throughout his 

musical career, 

appearing on average

 at more than 200 concerts 

a year into his 70s.

 In 1956 alone, 

he appeared at

 342 shows.

Born and raised in

 the Mississippi Delta, 

he was attracted to

 music and taught himself 

to play guitar 

beginning his career in

 juke joints

 and on

 local radio. 

King later lived 

and performed in

 Memphis and Chicago. 

As his fame grew, 

he toured the

 world extensively.
