Her early musical influences included Mahalia Jackson, Pearl Bailey, Cecil Gant, The Five Blind Boys and especially Percy Mayfield, who was her father's favorite artist.

		The King of the Blues Home Page ^Votes:0 B.B. King: The King of the Blues Surely the most influential guitarist of our time, B.B. has had a major impact on the development of modern blues and rock & roll music. Although he was a well known star on the "chitlin circuit" during the 1950's and 60's, B.B. King was relatively unknown to Middle America until the late 1960's. B.B. broke through the barriers of race and national boundaries when he recorded an adaptation of the Roy Hawkins'song, "The Thrill Is Gone." The song shot up to #15 on the Pop charts and topped out at #3 on the R&B charts in 1970, leading to the solidification of B.B. King as the premier blues artist of our time.
