Hij groeide op tussen gospel, blues en het harde leven van het zuiden. Zijn eerste stappen in muziek zette hij als straatmuzikant en radiopresentator, waar zijn unieke vibrato en expressieve stijl al snel opvielen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Doorbraak (1951-1965)<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Met zijn eerste grote hit <em>Three O\u2019Clock Blues<\/em> brak BB King nationaal door.
