RIP indeed. One of the greats.

Ben E King went a couple of weeks ago, now BB King. Carole King must be getting nervous.

I saw BB King play at the Gosport Music Festival 20-odd years ago. Truly a great. Who is going to play with Lucille now :(

There aren't that many axemen that you can tell whose playing just by listening to a few bars.
He's one of 'em though! The dude's even got a note scale named after him.

This one's from sing sing jail

If BB King ain't on your next your next show dude, I'm coming to get you CK! The man was a colossus and I watched that snippet from the Sing Sing jail and unashamedly cried.......not even in a manly sort of way, I bawled! Total genius and master of the axe and irreplaceable.......
