As soon as the music starts, you're brought to your knees by that irreplaceable guitar tone and dripping soul. No other blues guitarist had quite the same effect as Freddie King, and I've pretty much heard them all (all the "great" ones worth hearing, that is). Freddie, more than another bluesman, is the guitarists' guitarist. The KING!
Bombastic----soul and grit to his amazing voice--- but a beauty to his voice no bluesman ever had --- yup --- the best blues voice there ever was -- RIP soul man -- thank you
I know a little bluebird I sure wish she would sing for me I'll tell you all, I know, I know a little bluebird I sure, I sure wish she would sing for me She's been flying around so long, oh Lord I wish she would land in my tree Every time she goes by, I want to cut her wings, yeah I say every, every, every, every, every, every, every Every time she goes by, oh, I want to clip her wings So we can lock up in her nest together Oh, I'll buy her pretty things, yes I will Oh, little bluebird, please come and nest with me Oh, Lord, have mercy, little bluebird Please, oh, please come and nest with me Oh, I'll make life so wonderful, baby You and me in my tree, oh
Eric worshipped Freddie.Freddie supported him on his stadium tour of 74 .There was more than one occasion when they shared the stage as a mini set, Freddie completely wiped the floor with him a lot but Eric was drinking heavily at this stage.
With all due respect to Albert and B.B., Freddie was the King of Kings.
Well, OK, but at 1:59 it's one of Albert's favourite phrases. To me , it's not a competition, 'cause blues don't like that.
Nah you're getting something wrong here , Benny and Freddie were a unit.
Had a killer voice as well imo 👍
albert is the number one next freddie and last b.b
When I was a teenager I heard Freddie King at my grandfather’s house, my introduction to blues. RIP Freddie.
I'd put my money that Freddie influenced as many or more rock guitarst than anybody
I wouldn't bet against that, because he truly did. Probably the MOST influential hard rock/ blues guitarist there ever was.
Facts !
His ability is simply Breathtaking
Yea. Probably with them not even knowing. But of course Freddie was influenced by many before him too
Clapton and Stevie Ray for sure .

U gotta love Cannonball, a true blues shouter!!

This guy is too much spirited in blues. He needs a posthumous recognition
The Texas Cannonball! Grandmaster of the Blues.

Good luck finding a modern song that starts with a 3 minute guitar solo... You rarely find a modern song that is 3 minutes period.

Now I know where Eric Clapton got it from! Hehe.
A couple of other Kings contributed as well.

@@grantshenton7079 wiped the floor with him? I would not say that but he did show him up rather badly.
