Mr. King in the studio around 1960.
He was embraced by rock ’n’ roll fans of the 1960s and ’70s, who remained loyal as they grew older together.
His playing influenced many of the most successful rock guitarists of the era, including Eric Clapton and Jimi Hendrix.

Mr. King in 1950.
He went out on the road and never came back after one of his first recordings reached the top of the rhythm-and-blues charts in 1951.
He began in juke joints, country dance halls and ghetto nightclubs, playing 342 one-night performances in 1956 and 200 to 300 shows a year for a half-century thereafter.

BB King Sings The Blues To New York Prisoners Music video
A clip from my 2 hour program Making Docs https://www.thehoffmancollection.com.
My video shows many clips that I made as part of my TV documentary career.
The film I show as an example in this clip, B.B. King and Joan Baez - in Concert at Sing Sing, won every award in the books but was mostly loved by filmmakers.
It never made in the big theaters.
If you make movies or videos, you will want to see my entire show about how I did it.
There are good lessons to be learned there.

Riley B. King / B.B. King 1925-2015
B. B. King ('s) world-weary voice and wailing guitar lifted him from the cotton fields of Mississippi to a global stage and the apex of American blues
(...)
Mr. King married country blues to big-city rhythms and created a sound instantly recognizable to millions:
a stinging guitar with a shimmering vibrato, notes that coiled and leapt like an animal, and a voice that groaned and bent with the weight of lust, longing and lost love.
