B. B. King
B. B. King is pictured here plucking on “Lucille,” the name the blues musician gave to his guitar. King began to teach himself guitar in 1945 and made his first recording in 1950. He was still recording albums and touring internationally more than 50 years later, delighting fans as his playing seemingly brought Lucille to life.
