Every blues fan knows about the three Kings of the Blues, Albert, BB & Freddie, but we're going to add two more: Saunders King and Earl King. In Part 2 we explore the music and life of Earl King of New Orleans. Earl was a singer, guitarist, songwriter, record producer and mentor to dozens of young New Orleans musicians. He may be best known for his two part record, Come On, also known as Let the Good Times Roll , recorded by Jimi Hendrix and many more. His first hit was another New Orleans standard, Those Lonely, Lonely Nights, and he's said to have written the classic Big Chief, a tribute to his mother, a well-known Mardi Gras figure.
