A beautiful color photograph of BB King backstage in 1994, signed and titled by photographer Ken Settle.

Settle has said of this shot: I had set up a small, portable studio backstage at The Palace Theater in Cleveland, Ohio. We finally did the photo session at midnight. Mr King had just finished the second of two shows that day, but yet he still came to the camera freshly showered and wearing a brand new suit! This shot was used in several publications including Playboy magazine as well as the companion book to Martin Scorsese PBS television series called The Blues.

11″ x 14″, in very close to Mint condition, with a few virtually unnoticeable imperfections.

Ken Settle was a Detroit Area music photographer who began his career in his teens, photographing Bob Seger in his early years. Ken’s photographs have been published worldwide in magazines such as Rolling Stone, Guitar Player, Creem, People, and many more.  The Hard Rock Cafe has acquired 153 of Ken’s exhibition prints for its International Collection and Hard Rock installations around the world.
