Benny was born in Gilmer, Texas and grew up in the shadow of his famous brother, Freddie King, who always dreamed of becoming a great guitar player. He and his little brother Benny would listen for a few hours a day to old radio programs like "In the Groove." As they grew up, the brothers listened to Blues and Swing Music by such artists as Louis Jordan, Charles Brown and later, T-Bone Walker. These Blues greats became the influence of the music that Freddie King started and Benny Turner continues today.

Benny is proud to present his 3rd CD, Journey. It contains all original music, including family treasures passed down to him as a boy (“My Mother’s Blues” honoring Ella Mae (King) Turner, and “My Uncle’s Blues (Fannie Mae)” honoring his uncle Leon King). Pulling from a lifetime of doo-wop, R&B, gospel, soul, and blues influences, and seasoned with dashes of humor and strife, Turner has created a musical gumbo with something sure to satisfy everyone who listens. It features the the hit single, "What's Wrong with the World Today".
