Remembering Larry King and his greatest music interviews
The legendary talk show host has died aged 87

Larry King Live racked up 25 years on air, described its legendary host and US TV icon as the “Muhammad Ali of the broadcast interview”, they weren’t talking about his aggressive knockout punches. King had a roundhouse or two in his arsenal, particularly in his many interviews with world leaders and business figures, but he was better known for his subtle skill in luring his interviewers in, probing them with subtle jabs and encouraging them to open up their most vulnerable points.
