The King of the Blues, his distinctive singing voice and stinging guitar, spent near a half century making music on one Universal owned label or another. This ICON package captures the essence of these classic years in a 12 song snapshot. It's all here, from hit studio recordings ("The Thrill is Gone") and tracks from his legendary LIVE AT THE REGAL album to duets with Robert Cray and Bobby Bland.

It is also included in the National Recording Registry at the Library of Congress. King, talking about the album, admitted "that particular day in Chicago, everything came together."

Vinyl LP pressing. Original soundtrack to the 1975 motion picture. John Williams composed the film's score, which earned him an Academy Award and was later ranked the sixth greatest score by the American Film Institute. The main "shark" theme, a simple alternating pattern of two notes became a classic piece of suspense music, synonymous with approaching danger. Williams described the theme as "grinding away at you, just as a shark would do, instinctual, relentless, unstoppable." the piece was performed by tuba player Tommy Johnson. When asked by Johnson why the melody was written in such a high register and not played by the more appropriate French horn, Williams responded that he wanted it to sound "a little more threatening".
