    Riley B. King
    (September 16, 1925 – May 14, 2015), known professionally as
    B.B. King
    , was an American singer-songwriter, guitarist, and record producer. King introduced a sophisticated style of
    soloing
    based on fluid
    string bending
    and shimmering
    vibrato
    that influenced many later
    blues
    electric guitar
    players.
    King 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 considered one of the "Three Kings of the Blues Guitar" (along with
    Albert
    and
    Freddie King
    ).
    King performed tirelessly throughout his musical career, appearing on average at more than 200 concerts per year into his 70s.
    In 1956 alone, he appeared at 342 shows."
    King was born on a cotton plantation in
    Itta Bena
    ,
    Mississippi
    , and later worked at a
    cotton gin
    in
    Indianola, Mississippi
    . He was attracted to music and the guitar in church, and began his career in
    juke joints
    and local radio. He later lived in
    Memphis, Tennessee
    , and
    Chicago
    , and as his fame grew, toured the world extensively. King died at the age of 89 in
    Las Vegas
    ,
    Nevada
    , on May 14, 2015."
