BB KING

[ufkacbln]

Just read the sad announcement of the death of BB King

I only hope that his contribution to the world of music is not overshadowed by the bitter legal battles around his care

 

[Beebo]

BB King and Ben E King, both gone in 2 weeks.
Let's hope it's Jonathan King next.

Forget the legal stuff ,remember him for what he did and who he influenced,rip

RIP BB King.
I knew that he was ill and frail and didn't think that it would be long for him. Another true legend.

His how blue can you get from cook county jail with the intro sends shivers down the spine...

Who'll adopt Lucille?

 

[Fab Foodie]

Was lucky enough to see him in his prime and playing the Fairfield Halls Croydon .... which shows the man's graciousness!
Great performer and a true Legend. I think his unique talent was to be able to project more emotion and feeling into one note where others try to use 20.
Probably the last of the early Delta bluesmen.

Was also lucky to see him in 2009 at Wembley. Never seen any artist throw coins and jewellery into the crowd before. Absolute legend.

RIP BB

Sad news.

My personal favourite is Outside Help/I believe to myself. Incredible guitar and cool lyrics.

His how blue can you get from cook county jail with the intro sends shivers down the spine...

Plus, from about 4.50, probably the best live joke in blues history...

RIP

I can't remember a time when I didn't own a copy of his Jazz and Blues album.

A great loss but he's left enough lovely music behind with which to remember him.

BB King is a legend, but as Andy said he's left a wonderful legacy of music. I picked up some of his work on vinyl ages ago and I'll be listening in memory of the big blues king tonight.

Very sad, been a fan of BB's for over 50 years. I was also lucky to see him at Wembley a few years ago. Another legend gone.... RIP
