From the rural poverty of the Mississippi Delta to his celebrated position as the world's leading blues musician, B.B.King has led a remarkable life. In this riveting autobiography he dramatizes his whirlwind adventures from the Memphis of the forties to the Moscow of the nineties with unflinching candor and sincerity - disclosing his complex relationship to women and chronicling his experience with racism, the Civil Rights movement, and shifting politics of show business. But most of all, B.B.'s story is the story of the blues - the evolution from country acoustic to urban eletric, the birth and explosion of rock'n'roll - and B.B.'s own long but ultimately triumphant struggle for crossover success, during which he remained unwavering true to the music of his heart.
