Biography

B.B. King, born in 1925 in Mississippi, emerged as a pioneering electric guitarist and influential blues vocalist. With a career spanning from 1951 to 1985, he achieved 74 entries on Billboard's R&B charts and notably crossed over to mainstream success with his 1970 hit "The Thrill Is Gone." King collaborated with renowned musicians like Eric Clapton and U2 while maintaining his distinctive guitar style.

Growing up in the blues-rich Mississippi Delta, King's musical journey was shaped by country, gospel, and blues influences. His iconic guitar, "Lucille," became synonymous with his sound. Throughout the 1950s and 1960s, King established himself as a hitmaker in the R&B field, culminating in his breakthrough with "The Thrill Is Gone" in 1969. His experimentation with different musical styles and collaborations continued into the 1970s and beyond, solidifying his status as a blues legend. B.B. King passed away in 2015, leaving behind a lasting legacy in the world of music.

Higher affinity suggests better partnership fit and higher likelihood that fans will respond positively to branded content or offers. Use it to shortlist natural brand partners and product concepts that feel authentic to the audience. Combine affinity with Connection Strength (ER) and reach to balance fit with impact.
