A legendary figure in the world of blues music, Riley B. King, better known by his stage name, left an indelible mark on the genre with his innovative and expressive guitar playing style. Characterized by fluid string bending, shimmering vibrato, and staccato picking, his sound influenced a generation of electric guitar blues players. Dubbed the single most important electric guitarist of the last half of the 20th century by AllMusic, King's impact on the music world continues to be felt today.
