The album “King Size” by B.B. King was released in 1977 under the label ABC Records, catalog number AB-977. It’s a vinyl LP featuring a blend of Funk, Soul, Rhythm & Blues, Electric Blues, and Soul music genres. The album showcases a range of talent, including B.B. King on vocals and guitar, and contributions from various artists across different tracks. Notable backing vocals come from The Mighty Clouds Of Joy, and musicians like Ernie Watts (Alto Saxophone), Lee Ritenour (Guitar), and Joe Turner (Bass) lend their expertise to the album. The album was recorded in several studios, including Ardent Studios, Studio Masters, Wally Heider Recording Studio, Los Angeles, and Kendun Recorders. It reflects a rich tapestry of musical styles, with songs like “Don’t You Lie To Me”, “I Wonder Why”, and “Mother Fuyer”. The track “Mother Fuyer” is interestingly misspelled as “Mother Fuver” on the jacket. The album is a testament to B.B. King’s versatility and influence in the music world, blending traditional blues with contemporary sounds of the 1970s.
