If you love the blues you will want to visit the B.B. King Museum and Delta Interpretive Center in this city. B.B. King was born in nearby Itta Bena. The museum was carved out of a cotton gin where King worked as a young man. Although the museum has many artifacts from King's life including a frayed quilt from the home where he lived as a young man, a recreation of his home studio and various versions of his guitar, Lucille it also houses displays about the history and culture of the Mississippi Delta and memorabilia of other artists. You might also visit the famous Club Ebony owned by B.B. King. Count Basie, Ray Charles, James Brown, Ike Turner are among the musicians who entertained patrons in this night spot.
