When Muhammad Ali and George Foreman staged their heavyweight title fight in Zaire in 1974, a three-day music festival was held in tandem with the bout, and headliner B.B. King proved why he's regarded as the world's premier blues guitarist with this dynamic concert performed for an audience of 80,000 African fans (look carefully to spot Ali enjoying the show).
To Know You Is To Love You In 1974, one of the greatest fights of the century was taking place in Kinshasa, Zaire between George Forman, the champion and Muhammad Ali. The event was a celebration of black sports and music. I Believe In My Soul Why I Sing The Blues Ain't Nobody Home Sweet Sixteen The Thrill Is Gone Guess Who I Like To Live The Love The legendary B.B. King was invited to take part in this three-day music festival. His performance before an audience of 80,000 Africans is considered to be one of the greatest of his phenomenal career - a career that has earned him the title of "King of the Blues". This inspired performance was shot by Leon Gast who won an Academy Award® for When We Were Kings, a documentary about the life of Muhammad Ali. If you look closely you can see Ali in the audience of the show. Now this classic footage is available on DVD and an unforgettable night of music is lived again.
