[edit] Photo

The photo used in this article was removed from Wikipedia, most likely due to copyright issues (it was shot by a german photographer named Torsten, most likely it really wasn't free). I'm looking for a usable photo. Current Wikipedia policy suggests album covers should not be used (the fair use rule applies to illustration of albums and singles only). If anyone knows of a photo of Albert King without copyright issues, please upload it. Fbergo 14:14, 29 October 2005 (UTC)

• I found a promo photo and placed it in the article (and I added the persondata template, the template data should not appear on the articles, it seems that it is being displayed due to some temporary glitch). Fbergo 14:43, 25 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Illiteracy

I was unable to find a reference to Albert King being illiterate (as the previous article text suggested, saying that the lyrics of Born Under a Bad Sign ("I can't read, didn't learn how to write") reflected his own illiteracy. If you have a reference to that, put back the information and the source in the article. Fbergo 15:02, 25 December 2005 (UTC)

Whether true or not, King himself didn't even write the song, so I doubt the lyric refers to his own experiences anyway. --buck 16:53, 26 December 2005 (UTC)
