King formed his first band, the Every Hour Blues Boys, with the guitarist <a href="/wiki/Jimmie_Lee_Robinson" title="Jimmie Lee Robinson">Jimmie Lee Robinson</a> and the drummer Frank "Sonny" Scott. In 1952, while employed at a steel mill, the eighteen-year-old King occasionally worked as a <a href="/wiki/Sideman" title="Sideman">sideman</a> with such bands as the Little Sonny Cooper Band and Earl Payton's Blues Cats. In 1953 he recorded with the latter for Parrot Records, but these recordings were never released. As the 1950s progressed, King played with several of Muddy Waters's sidemen and other Chicago mainstays, including the guitarists <a href="/wiki/Jimmy_Rogers" title="Jimmy Rogers">Jimmy Rogers</a>, <a href="/wiki/Robert_Lockwood_Jr." title="Robert Lockwood Jr.">Robert Lockwood Jr.</a>, <a href="/wiki/Eddie_Taylor" title="Eddie Taylor">Eddie Taylor</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Hound_Dog_Taylor" title="Hound Dog Taylor">Hound Dog Taylor</a>; the bassist <a href="/wiki/Willie_Dixon" title="Willie Dixon">Willie Dixon</a>; the pianist <a href="/wiki/Memphis_Slim" title="Memphis Slim">Memphis Slim</a>; and the harmonicist <a href="/wiki/Little_Walter" title="Little Walter">Little Walter</a>. </p><p>In 1956 he cut his first record as a leader, for El-Bee Records.

From the same recording session at the King Studios in Cincinnati, Ohio, King cut the instrumental "<a href="/wiki/Hide_Away_(instrumental)" title="Hide Away (instrumental)">Hide Away</a>", which the next year reached number five on the <a href="/wiki/Hot_R%26B/Hip-Hop_Songs" title="Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs">R&B chart</a> and number 29 on the <a href="/wiki/Pop_Singles_Chart" class="mw-redirect" title="Pop Singles Chart">Pop chart</a>, an unprecedented accomplishment for a blues instrumental at a time when the genre was still largely unknown to white audiences.
