Albert King
The six-foot-four, 300-pound Albert King was able to bend notes farther and more powerfully than almost any other blues guitarist. His records have been considered to influence many generations as well. Jimi Hendrix was star-struck when his hero opened for him at the Fillmore in 1967. “I taught [Hendrix] a lesson about the blues,” said King. “I could have easily played his songs, but he couldn’t play mine. Albert King once nicknamed “The Velvet Bulldozer” because of this smooth singing and large size.
