San Rafael, CA 94903
From the Marin Center’s website:
Since B.B. started recording in the late 1940's, he has released over 60 albums many of them considered blues classics, like 1965's definitive live blues album Live At The Regal, and 1976's collaboration with Bobby "Blue" Bland, Together For The First Time. Over the years, B.B. has had two number one R & B hits, 1951's Three O'Clock Blues, and 1952's You Don't Know Me, and four number two R&B hits, 1953's Please Love Me, and 1954's You Upset Me Baby, 1960's Sweet Sixteen, Part I, and 1966's Don't Answer The Door, Part I. B.B.'s most popular crossover hit, 1970's The Thrill Is Gone went to number 15 on the pop music charts. From the chitlin circuit with its small town cafes, ghetto theaters, country dance halls, and roadside joints to jazz clubs, rock palaces, symphony concert halls, college concerts, resort hotels and prestigious concert halls nationally and internationally,
B.B. has become the most renowned blues musician of the past 60 years. www.bbking.com
