[FP's weekly column on music before 1990 appears on Sundays]

Today marks the birthday of the late Albert King, who inspired more guitar players than we can count. In honor of his legacy as one of the three "Kings of the Blues" (along with B.B. and Freddie), here are three versions of “Born Under A Bad Sign.”

Albert King - Born Under A Bad Sign


Cream - Born Under A Bad Sign


Jimi Hendrix - Born Under A Bad Sign
