The King of Blues, the most influential blues musician of all time, King has many accolades. He sadly passed away in 2015 at the age of 89, in Las Vegas.
This followed a “farewell tour” in 2006, induction into the Hollywood bowl Hall of Fame in 2008 and Rolling Stone ranking him as number 6 on its 100 greatest guitarists of all time list. In 2012 he performed in front of Barack Obama at the White House.
