In recognition of his achievements, King was inducted into the Blues Foundation Hall of Fame in 1984 and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1987. He has also received five honorary doctorates. King still tours internationally more than 250 days per year, including gigs at the four B.B. King's Blues Clubs located throughout the country. This archive is comprised of the recordings and images of Dr. William Ferris, professor of history and Senior Associate Director of the Center for the Study of the American South at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
