There are no doubts whatsoever that talent runs strongly, in the DNA of the Gales Family, in particular, between brothers Eric, Eugene and the late great Emmanuel Lynn, the latter better known, artistically, as Little Jimmy King.
Little Jimmy King, or LJK, as his brother and Guitarist Extraordinaire Eric Gales calls him affectionally, was an American Blues guitarist, singer and songwriter that had a very successful career spanned throughout the 80's and the 90's, a career that saw him working with both his brothers and also with a giant of Blues such as Albert King, together with fronting his own band called Little Jimmy King & the Memphis Soul Survivors, soon after he left Albert King's band.

The world is full of music experts willing to judge what separates a true artist from a manufactured one and, inevitably, each of them will always have a different point of view on this matter.
To our website, by listening to countless hours of music on a daily basis, that difference is created by different factors; of course, natural talent and ability, either as a singer/songwriter or as a singer and/or a musician too, all those elements play a fundamental role in spotting that difference, but there is more to it.

Music is an art form that is never simple to describe; it's a celebration of life, it's creativity, it's light and dark, good times and bad ones and, fundamentally, the soundtrack of everyone's life.
Said soundtracks though may not necessarily come from radio airplays or any media in general, but they might often come unexpectedly from the speaker of a car radio, or when we are at a restaurant, or at a beach, where we wouldn't necessary know the song title or the artist performing it, but we would remember the moment we were living with that song in the background, a song that, for some unknown reasons, never got the necessary attention from the music press it deserved, back then.
