Riley B. King was born on September 16, 1925, between Itta Bena and Indianola, Mississippi. His parents split up when he was a small child, and he lived for a few years with his mother in the Mississippi hills. She died when he was nine, and he was alone until his father, Albert King, found him a few years later.

After serving briefly in the army, King moved in with his cousin Booker (Bukka) White, also a blues guitarist.
