RIP
Thank you, RIP and Rock on!
Saw him play at a few places years ago in NYC. He was really happy to be on stage playing his blues.
RIP B.B. King - thanks for the good times!
RIP BB King......
I first saw him at the Fillmore West in San Francisco in the late 1960s, think it was 1968. Bill Graham had B.B. King perform along with several rock bands, and B.B. King mesmerized the crowd. He is a legend, and will be missed.
Heaven's gain is our great loss.
I was introduced to B.B. King's music as a child . My father loved the Blues.
He was an avid guitar player in his spare time (also knew his way around a piano keyboard).
I can recall many occasions of listening to B.B.'s music with my dad , as he would try and explain to me just how difficult it was to literally make a guitar sing- but that B.B. made it seem almost effortless.
There won't ever be another B.B. King.
Thank you DemforBush for your post #3 link to video about B.B. and Lucille- a wonderful tribute.
WHOA! R.I.P. B.B. Thank you, sir. Condolences to family and friends.
love
Thanks for the music. Rest in peace.
The Thrill Is GONE
RIP B.B. King!
A couple of years back, with Eric Clapton, “Riding With The King.”

He came to Columbia MO back in the ‘80s. I got to rent my drum set to them, sit in the front row, and shake his hand. I was paid to be there! Pretty rockin’ show! I didn’t expect the drummer to tear stuff up! He was hittin’ ‘em!
Worked in a record factory back in the late 60s early 70s. ABC and Bluesway record. I have a respectable vinyl collection of BB King from there. All except 1 without jackets as the boss would sell us the records for $0.75 but the jackets for another $2. Got a copy of Indianola Mississippi Seeds a month before it came out as I physically made the record as a test pressing and we only had 1 label so it was pressed with the same label on both sides I hand wrote a list for the different side and taped it over the label. When the jacket became available weeks later I got that one.
Saw BB in 1969 at the Spectrum in Philadelphia, when he opened for the Stones... The kids didn’t know who he was and at first booed him because they wanted to see The Stones. After the first song they calmed down and applauded.
R.I.P. One of the greatest.
A great entertainer, but not a role model, 15 kids by an assortment of women.
RIP Mr. King. Thank you.
The Thrill... Truly... is gone; and Lucille gently weeps.
RIP, B.B... Thanks for the wonderful music.
