B.B. King was born on a cotton plantation in Mississippi and later worked at a cotton gin in Indianola. While young, B.B. sang in the gospel choir at Elkhorn Baptist Church in Kilmichael. He was attracted to the Pentecostal Church of God in Christ because of its music. The local minister performed with a Sears Roebuck Silvertone guitar during services and taught King his first three chords. His first guitar was bought for him by Flake Cartledge, his employer in Kilmichael for 15 dollars. Cartledge withheld money from King's salary for the next two months until the debt was repaid. He was so attracted to music he taught himself to play guitar and began his career in juke joints and local radio. He later lived in Memphis and Chicago; then, as his fame grew, he toured the world extensively.
Born Riley B. King on September 16, 1925 near Itta Bena, Mississippi and died on May 14, 2015 in Las Vegas, Nevada at the age of 89.
