B.B. King - Heartbreaker - My Beat Club
B.B. King & Lucille – a man and his guitar! B.B. King, born as Riley Ben King in 1925, is still one of the most influential blues guitarists of modern music – and also one of the most respected. Kings musical career goes back to the 40s as he arrived for the first time in Memphis – with only poor results. But in the 50s he already became an important name in blues music with a large list of hits in the R&B charts. At the end of the 60s he also entered the pop charts with his songs (e.g. # 15 with “The Thrill Is Gone”). He always named his trademark Gibson Guitars “Lucille” after an incident in the mid 50s: King saved his beloved acoustic guitar from a fire at a concert hall in Twist, Arkansas. Later he heard that two men got into a fight about a girl called Lucille and accidentally set fire to the hall. So he decided to give the girls name to his guitar to remind him never to do such crazy things – like go back into a burning building or fight over a woman.
