About the Artist
Freddie King (September 3, 1934 – December 28, 1976), thought to have been born as Frederick Christian in Gilmer, Texas, originally recording as Freddy King, and nicknamed "the Texas Cannonball", was an influential African-American blues guitarist and singer. He is often mentioned as one of "the Three Kings" of electric blues guitar, along with Albert King and B.B. King (though he was the youngest of the three).
King's mother, Ella May King, and her brother, who both played the guitar, began teaching him to play at the age of six.

Suggested Song Selection Championship (forums pt2)
These are songs participants have submitted to be in the championship. If you are a creator and your cdlc was made before 2025 it would be much appreciated to fix it up to 2025 standards or fix any other issues it has so that the championship could be better. Unfortunatley theres a 150 song limit on setlist so there might be multiple playlists
