POP/ROCK - Dec. 31, 1992

Let There Be Music: A special person was listening when blues legend B. B. King performed before a prison audience this week in Florida--his daughter, who is serving time for drug trafficking. Patty Elizabeth King, 36, is serving three years at Gainesville Community Correctional Center for women. She was sentenced in January, 1991. King, 67, gave the show at the Gainesville Drug Treatment Center where 300 inmates from two prisons had gathered. As King approached the stage, he stopped to hug his daughter and kiss her on the cheek. Patty later said her father whispered, “Hello. I love you. How’s my girl?” Onstage, the pioneering blues guitarist was upbeat. “We didn’t come to bring you more blues,” he told the crowd. “We came to bring you some music.”
