Riley B. King (September 16, 1925 - May 14, 2015) was an American blues singer-songwriter, guitarist, and record producer. He introduced a sophisticated style of soloing based on fluid string blending, shimmering vibrato and staccato picking that influenced many later blues electric guitar players. King was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1987, and is one of the most influential blues musicians of all time, earning the nickname "The King of the Blues."

Steven Alan Kaufman (December 29, 1960 - February 12, 2010) was an American pop artist, fine artist, sculptor, stained glass artist, filmmaker, photographer and humanitarian. His entry into the world of serious pop art began in his teens when he became an assistant to Andy Warhol at The Factory studio. Nicknamed "SAK" by Warhol, Kaufman eventually executed such pieces as a 144-foot-long canvas which later toured the country.

Formerly from the Blues & Legends Hall of Fame Museum.
