Non-Fiction Biography
In time for his 80th birthday, stories on the world's most
popular blues performer B.B. King is a national treasure.
For more than five decades, he has been the consummate
blues performer. His unique guitar playing, powerful
vocals, and repertoire of songs have taken him from tiny
Itta Bena, Mississippi, to worldwide renown. In this
comprehensive volume, the best articles, interviews and
reviews about B.B. King's life and career have been
gathered. Learn how he first made his mark as a disc jockey
in Memphis hawking "Pepticon" elixir and taking the moniker
of the "Beale Street Blues Boy"; trace his early tours and
recordings; see him be swept up in the blues revival; and
finally, enjoy his fame as the greatest living exponent of
the blues style. He turns 80 in September so the book is
timed to take advantage of the well-deserved attention. * Extensively revised second edition
* Includes 18 interviews
