Help with a question about classic blues

[man4allcats]

I'm looking for some clarification about blues musician(s) named King. I am most familiar with B.B. King, but I have heard some recordings (Stormy Monday with John Mayall) where Albert King performs with Mayall. Are B.B. King and Albert King the same person or perhaps related? I tried googling this and found some stuff on Wiki but was never able to get a definitive answer. Thanks in advance for any help.

1. Holy Shit! I was at that show!!!

Capitol Theater in Passaic NJ, 1982

And no, Albert King and BB King are not the same person, and they are not related. He's not related to Freddie King either. Those 3 were referred to as "The Three Kings of the Blues Guitar." But none are related to each other.

3. +1 - Awesome......

My first and only true love has always been the blues............

This stuff NEVER goes out of style, ya'll ~

nope.

Bottom line & low-down nitty-gritty -not much else can stand up (nor hold a candle up) to it.

One of my personal favs here (among many):

Little Walter:

Haunting...oh hell ya ~

Don't know why exactly...just that this song seem to kind of follow natural suite here:

Change it up a little bit with SRV:
