B.B. King, The King Of Blues, Google Doodle

Today on the 94th birthday of B.B. King, Google has posted a special video Doodle to honor B.B. King's life. B.B. King is known as the King of Blues and pretty much everyone is familiar with his music. So listening and watching the Doodle is just so nice.

Here is the Doodle if you missed it:

This Doodle was illustrated by artist Steve Spencer and animated by animator Nayeli Lavanderos. It was not done by Google Doodlers, according to the Doodles page.

B.B. King's music was unique in the day, "King introduced a sophisticated style of soloing based on fluid string bending and shimmering vibrato that influenced many later electric blues guitarists," wrote Wikipedia.

Here is a behind the scenes from the Google Doodle Twitter account:

"B.B.'s sound is every emotion rolled into one." ⁠—Malika Polk-Lee, @BBKingMuseum Executive Director
