Freddie King, the Texas Cannonball, will be posthumously inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on Saturday. He was one of the Three Kings of electric blues guitar (with B.B. and Albert), and had a profound influence on many legendary rock guitarists, including Eric Clapton and Stevie Ray Vaughn.
Clapton famously covered two of King's great tunes, the instrumental Hideaway (on John Mayall's Bluesbreakers) and Have You Ever Loved A Woman (Derek and the Dominos).
Here's Freddie performing them:
