Blues guitarist and singer Freddie King was born in Gilmer, Texas on September 3, 1934 and died on December 28, 1976, aged 42 years old. He went on to be a leading light in the Chicago Blues scene.
During his short life, he built a reputation to justify standing as one of the three “kings” of the blues, alongside BB King and Albert King.
In 2011, Rolling Stone magazine rated him as the 15th greatest guitar player ever.
