It ain't Friday, so Saturday is gonna have to do!
Just in case you ever wondered, No, B.B. King, Freddie King, and Albert King are not related.
I did not know this until now, and it's info like this is why we have the internet. It was supposed to be information and communication, not ads, ads, ads.
Anyway, Albert King's real name was Albert Nelson.
He adopted the last name King in 1953 as an attempt to be associated with B.B. King, and sometimes he was billed as "B.B. King's brother."
He didn't really need to go to those lengths as he was a standout guitar player on his own without the hype.
