Albert King
More than nearly any other blues guitarist, the six-foot-four, 300-pound Albert King was able to bend notes deeper and more powerfully. Many generations have also been said to have been influenced by his recordings. When his idol performed as his opening act at the Fillmore in 1967, Jimi Hendrix was awestruck. King stated, “I taught [Hendrix] a lesson about the blues,”. “I could have easily played his songs, but he couldn’t play mine.” Albert King was once nicknamed “The Velvet Bulldozer” because of this smooth singing and large size.
