Little Jimmy King

Emmanuel Lynn Gales (December 4, 1964 – July 19, 2002), known professionally as Little Jimmy King, was born in Memphis, Tennessee. At the age of six, and along with his twin brother Daniel, Jimmy received an acoustic guitar. Naturally left-handed, he learned to play with the guitar upside down, and in his early teens graduated to an electric model. In the 1980s he switched to playing the blues and joined Albert King's backing band in 1988, and the twosome formed such a friendship that Albert referred to Little Jimmy as his "adopted" grandson. At the end of this period, the latter formally changed his name to King.[5]

After leaving Albert King's band, Little Jimmy King formed his own ensemble, called Little Jimmy King & the Memphis Soul Survivors, and released his self-titled debut album in 1991 on the Bullseye Blues label/

King's next album was "Something Inside of Me", which dropped in 1994. In 1995, King recorded with his brothers, Eric and Eugene Gales. The resultant album, "Left Hand Brand" was issued as The Gales Bros,

His Bullseye Blues LP, "Soldier for the Blues", from 1997 was produced by Willie Mitchell.

King died on July 19, 2002, in Memphis, after suffering a heart attack
