Albert King 1923-1992
born Albert Nelson
blues guitarist and singer who became a major figure in postwar American music
(...)
Mr. King was an intense performer, and his sound -- loaded with bent and crying notes -- was among the meanest produced by any bluesman.
His solos might consist of only a few positions on the guitar, but he would contort them into wailing, cursing, anguish-filled choruses.
He used his smooth voice, made passionate by a steady vibrato, to project doom and authority.
He conjured up anger and loss in his songs.
Mr. King was born in Indianola, Miss. and did farm work as a child.
His first experiences with music were in the church, and he spent the 1940's doing manual labor and occasionally singing in a family gospel group.
