BIOGRAPHY
Riley B.King was born in a small cabin on a cotton plantation outside
of Berclair, near Indianola, Mississippi, to Albert King and Nora Ella
Farr on September 16, 1925. In 1930, when King was four years old, his
father abandoned the family, and his mother married another man.
Because Nora Ella was too poor to raise her son, King was raised by his
maternal grandmother Elnora Farr in Kilmichael, Mississippi. King grew up
singing in the gospel choir at Elkhorn Baptist Church in Kilmichael. At
age 12, he purchased his first guitar for $15.00 although another
reference indicates he was given his first guitar by his cousin, Bukka
White.
In 1943, King left Kilmichael to work as a tractor driver and play guitar
with the Famous St. John's Quartet of Inverness, Mississippi, performing
at area churches and on WGRM in Greenwood, Mississippi.
In 1946, King followed his cousin Bukka White to Memphis, Tennessee.
White took him in for the next ten months. However, King shortly returned
to Mississippi, where he decided to prepare himself better for the next
visit, and returned to West Memphis, Arkansas, two years later in
1948..... (Wikipedia)
