Celeb Birthday: Albert King

Friday, April 25th, 2008

Fans, Friends, Family, lend me your ears!

This is the first of many to come, a new series of bulletin posts by yours truly.
In these posts we will remember the life and times of great guitarists from the days of yore … today?

ALBERT KING,  b. 1923  (April 25)

My favorite song of this legendary artist is Born Under A Bad Sign.  It was actually written and recorded by the great William Bell, but I think most Blues afficianados would agree that King’s version is the more widely-known.
