Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. 'Without a doubt the most important artist the blues has ever produced' - Eric Clapton'No one did more to spread the gospel of the blues' - President Barack Obama'One part of me says, "Yes, of course I can play." But the other part of me says,"Well, I wish I could just do it like B.B. King."' - John LennonRiley 'Blues Boy' King (1925-2015) was born into deep poverty in Mississippi. Wrenched awayfrom his sharecropper father, B.B. lost his mother at age ten, leaving him more or less alone.Music became his emancipation from exhausting toil in the fields. Inspired by a local minister'sguitar and by the records of Blind Lemon Jefferson and T-Bone Walker, B.B. taught his guitarto sing in the unique solo style that, along with his relentless work ethic and humanity, becamehis trademark. In turn, generations of artists claimed him as inspiration, from Jimi Hendrix andEric Clapton to Carlos Santana and the Edge.King of the Blues presents the vibrant life and times of a trailblazing giant. Witness to darkprejudice and lynching in his youth, B.B. performed incessantly (more than fifteen thousandconcerts in ninety countries over nearly sixty years) - in some real way his means of escapinghis past. His career roller-coasted between adulation and relegation, but he always rose backup. At the same time, his story reveals the many ways record companies took advantage ofartists, especially those of colour.Daniel de Vis has interviewed almost every surviving member of B.B. King's inner circle -family, band members, retainers, managers and more - and their voices and memories enrichand enliven the life of this Mississippi blues titan, whom his contemporary Bobby 'Blue' Blandsimply called 'the man.' The first authoritative cradle-to-grave biography of a worldwide musical and cultural legend. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
