B.B. King wasn't the only blues legend out of Indianola, Mississippi; he wasn't even the only blues legend named "King." Born there two years earlier, in 1923, was Albert King, though his birth name was actually Albert Nelson.
Albert King grew up on the gospel sound and played the Delta blues circuit until the late 1950's, when he found a musical home in St. Louis. He hit there with Don't Throw Your Love On Me So Strong, then went to Memphis and Stax Records, where he recorded Laundromat Blues, Crosscut Saw, Down Don't Bother Me, and the classic Born Under A Bad Sign.
King's career took him to the rock and classical stages as well. He played San Francisco's Fillmore West, with John Mayall and Jimi Hendrix, and in 1969 he performed with the St. Louis Symphony. King died in Memphis in 1992.
