Google honors B.B. King 94th Birthday with a Doodle


Today Google honored B.B. King 94th Birthday with a Doodle (click here for video). 

Riley B. King (September 16, 1925 – May 14, 2015), known professionally as B.B. King (click here for his official youtube channel), was an American singer-songwriter, guitarist, broadcaster and record producer. King introduced a sophisticated style of soloing based on fluid string bending and shimmering vibrato that influenced many later electric blues guitarists. Here are some of his best live dates:
