Mississippi born Riley B. King began playing music on the streets
of his native Indianola in the '40s, eventually moving to Memphis
to pursue a career as a bluesman. He found a home as a DJ on
legendary Memphis radio Station WDIA in the early '50s, a position
he used to further his budding reputation as a guitarist/singer to
be reckoned with. His on-air moniker, "the Beale Street Blues Boy"
ultimately metamorphosed into his stage name. He spent the '50s
cementing his legend as an energetic performer, playing with Johnny
Ace and Bobby "Blue" Bland and on his own. His very modern, urban
style was influenced not only by T-Bone Walker, but by jazz
guitarist Charlie Christian. King's gestalt was miles away from the
blues' rural beginnings, relying on witty, sophisticated lyrics and
almost jazzy rhythms. His signature guitar style, as played on his
trademark Gibson hollow-body "Lucille", combined quick vibrato with
cutting, single-note lines and aggressively bent notes. His
boisterous vocals, entertainment-value showmanship and gregarious
personality made him beloved not just to blues aficionados, but to
the larger pop audience.
