We have two featured artists today: Guitarist, singer, songwriter, and record producer
B.B. King was born Riley B. King in Itta Bena, Mississippi, on September 16, 1925.
King introduced a sophisticated style of soloing based on fluid string bending, shimmering vibrato, and staccato picking that influenced many later blues electric
guitar players. AllMusic recognized King as “the single most important electric guitarist
of the last half of the 20th century”.

Our second featured artist is singer and pianist Charles Brown. Born Tony Russell
Brown in Texas City, Texas, on September 13, 1922. Brown’s soft-toned,
slow-paced nightclub style influenced West Coast blues in the 1940s and 1950s.
He scored numerous R&B hits both as a solo artist and a member of
Johnny Moore’s Three Blazers.
