Riley B. King spent 60 years touring as the King of the Blues, performing over 15,000 concerts across a career that began in the Mississippi Delta in 1946 and ended with his death in 2015 at age 89 in Las Vegas. His vibrato technique and his personified guitar Lucille were so distinctive they became the defining voice of the post-war electric blues.
