BB King was one of the biggest black stars for decades. "Memphis blues" followed him throughout his career, and he also paid attention to the popular music that was developing around him. His best recordings broke the boundaries of blues and co-created the sounds of R&B, soul and funk. His voice and the guitar solo he called "Lucille" will live on forever.
