Krátky popis
'Without a doubt the most important artist the blues has ever
produced' Eric Clapton'No one did more to spread the gospel of the
blues' President Barack Obama'One part of me says, ",Yes, of course
I can play.", But the other part of me says, ",Well, I wish I could
just do it like B.B. King.",' John LennonKing of the Blues is the
story of the first and only superstar of American blues. But it is
also a chronicle of the African-American experience.B.B. King grew
up in the Deep South, a few generations after the end of slavery,
imprisoned within a cruel system of wage slavery known as
sharecropping. King of the Blues will also tell the larger story of
the birth of modern popular music.B.B. King's boundless ambition
and tireless toil gave him initial success, topping the charts in
the 1950s and early '60s. But then his career hit a wall when his
version of classic blues music could not break through to the
mainstream.But then, after years of being out of the limelight,
B.B.'s music was rediscovered by new listeners, who saw that he had
inspired their guitar rock heroes. From the 1970s on, each time his
popularity faded, his music was given new life: fronting for The
Rolling Stones, acclaimed by Eric Clapton, praised by U2 and Bono.
His last concert was performed in late 2014, six months before he
died at age 89.
