When he was in his twenties, Riley B. King of Indianola, Mississippi, hitchhiked to Memphis, Tennessee and began playing in clubs on Beale Street where he received the nickname "Beale Street Blues Boy."
Over time the moniker "B.B. King" evolved as did his playing, one of the most identifiable guitar styles, which has earned him the title "King of the Blues."
King was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1987 and into the Blues Foundation Hall of Fame in 1984.
At age 76, B.B. King still writes, plays, records and sings in addition to owning a series of B.B. King's Blues Clubs on Beale Street in Memphis, on Univeral CityWalk in Los Angeles, in Times Square in New York City, and at Foxwoods Casino in Connecticut.
