Blues legend B.B. King spent his life sharing the music of his soul,
which shone relentlessly through hardship and triumph alike.
Born on a cotton plantation in 1925, the man born Riley B. King would
grow up to be one of the most influential blues musicians of all time,
being crowned The King of the Blues. He never wavered from his vocation,
even as he gathered up other musicians in his wake and melded them into
the harmony of his animating passion. In this intimate portrait of King,
author Diane Williams offers a brief account of the monumental blues
man's life before settling in for a series of interviews with his
bandmates and beloved family members, offering readers an invaluable
opportunity to feel like they know King too.
