2. B.B. King Interview -- Academy of Achievement

   B.B. King: This is going to probably sound funny to you but I didn't think I was any different from anyone else, other than I was a black kid instead of being a white kid and... It was a segregated society. We walked to school. The white kids had a school bus. And I was crazy about Roy Rogers. I liked William Elliott. We called him Wild Bill. Never did think of them as being white. They were cowboys. My heroes. I think, trying to answer your question, I had never experienced the North. I didn't know anything about the North. I didn't know anything about any other society other than what we lived in. So the answer to your question? Truthfully? All right with me. It's just that some people had and some had not, and I wished I could have been one of those that had, and that's the truth.

   B.B. King (guitar, vocals; born September 16, 1925)
   
   Riley “B.B.” King has been called the “King of the Blues” and “Ambassador of the Blues,” and indeed he’s reigned across the decades as the genre’s most recognizable and influential artist. His half-century of success owes much to his hard work as a touring musician who consistently logged between 200 and 300 shows a year. Through it all he’s remained faithful to the blues while keeping abreast of contemporary trends and deftly incorporating other favored forms - jazz and pop, for instance - into his musical overview. Much like such colleagues and contemporaries as Buddy Guy and John Lee Hooker, B.B. King managed to change with the changing times while adhering to his blues roots.
