Albert Nelson (April 25, 1923 – December 21, 1992), known by his stage name Albert King, was an American blues guitarist and singer whose playing influenced many other blues guitarists. He is perhaps best known for the popular and influential album Born Under a Bad Sign (1967) and its title track. He is one of the three performers (together with B.B. King and Freddie King) known as the "Kings of the Blues." King was known for his "deep, dramatic sound that was widely imitated by both blues and rock guitarists."



He was also known as "The Velvet Bulldozer" because of his smooth singing and large size—he stood taller than average, with sources reporting 6 ft 4 in (1.93 m) or 6 ft 7 in (2.01 m), and weighed 250 lb (110 kg)—and also because he drove a bulldozer in one of his day jobs early in his career.



King was inducted into the Blues Hall of Fame in 1983. He was posthumously inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2013. In 2011, he was ranked #13 on Rolling Stone's 100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time

Born Under a Bad Sign is a compilation album by American blues musician Albert King, released in 1967. It was his first album for Stax Records and reflects a more soul blues-oriented approach influenced by the backing band, Booker T. & the M.G.'s. It contains several of King's best-known songs, including the title track, "Crosscut Saw", and "Oh Pretty Woman", which had previously been released as singles.



The album became "one of the most popular and influential blues albums of the late '60s"and influenced guitarists, such as Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, and Stevie Ray Vaughan. Born Under a Bad Sign has been acknowledged by the Grammy Hall of Fame, the Blues Foundation Hall of Fame, and Rolling Stone magazine
