B.B. King: Background To A Living Legend

John Abbey, Blues & Soul, June 1971

B.B. KING is the undisputed King of the Blues – fact! Every press release in existence on B.B. will tell you that he is a living legend in his own time. It will tell of the numerous awards and honours that have been bestowed upon this genial man with the quiet manner and warm smile. But there is far more to B.B. than meets the eye.
