Biografie
B. B. King, eigentl. Riley Benjamin King (* 16. September 1925 in Berclair, Leflore County, Mississippi; † 14. Mai 2015 in Las Vegas, Nevada), war einer der einflussreichsten Blues-Gitarristen und -Sänger. Er gilt als einer der „drei Kings des elektrischen Blues“, neben Albert King und Freddie King. Er beeinflusste Generationen von Rock- und Bluesmusikern. Seine Schallplatten wurden mit insgesamt 15 Grammys ausgezeichnet. Das „B. B.“ in seinem Namen steht für Blues Boy, was wiederum eine Verkürzung von Beale Street Blues Boy ist, seinem Pseudonym als Moderator beim Radiosender WDIA.
