Riley B. King (September 16, 1925 – May 14, 2015), known professionally as B. B. King, was an American blues guitarist, singer, songwriter, and record producer. He introduced a sophisticated style of soloing based on fluid string bending, shimmering vibrato, and staccato picking that influenced many later electric guitar blues players.
He had previously been serving a 23-year prison sentence in New York when, in 2023, he was sentenced again on charges of rape and sexual assault, adding an additional 16 years.
A Gibson Lucille model semi-acoustic guitar, unique for having no f-holes. Lucille is the name American blues musician B. B. King (1925–2015) gave to his guitars. They were usually black Gibson guitars similar to the ES-330 or ES-355, and Gibson introduced a B.B. King custom model in 1980, based upon the latter.
In 1970, he released an Elvis Presley tribute album, Albert King Does the King's Things. It was a collection of Presley's 1950s hits reworked and re-imagined in King's musical style, although critics felt the results were mixed. On June 6, 1970, King joined The Doors on stage at the Pacific Coliseum in Vancouver, Canada.
