A great musician who's influences can still be felt throughout music to this day. Without him and people like him we'd probably still be stuck musically in the 1940's which would have been the ultimate tragedy.
RIP Mr. King you've earned it.

One of the first people I tried to emulate on the guitar. One of the greats.

I lived in Memphis in the mid 90's and saw him play a few songs at an impromptu gig at his bar on Beale St. Only played 3 or 4 songs but I knew I was watching a legend.
