B.B. King

His reign as King of the Blues has been as long as that of any monarchon earth. Yet B.B. King continues to wear his crown well. At age 76, heis still light on his feet, singing and playing the blues withrelentless passion. Time has no apparent effect on B.B., other than tomake him more popular, more cherished, more relevant than ever. Don'tlook for him in some kind of semi-retirement; look for him out on theroad, playing for people, popping up in a myriad of T.V. commercials,or laying down tracks for his next album. B.B. King is as alive as themusic he plays, and a grateful world can't get enough of him.

B.B. continues to tour extensively, averaging over 250 concerts peryear around the world. Classics such as "Payin' The Cost To Be TheBoss," "The Thrill Is Gone," How Blue Can You Get," "Everyday I HaveThe Blues," and "Why I Sing The Blues" are concert (and fan) staples.Over the years, the Grammy Award-winner has had two #1 R&B hits,1951's "Three O'Clock Blues," and 1952's "You Don't Know Me," and four#2 R&B hits, 1953's "Please Love Me," 1954's "You Upset Me Baby,"1960's "Sweet Sixteen, Part I," and 1966's "Don't Answer The Door, PartI."
