RIP B.B. King

Listened to some of his records this morning in honor of him. A true gentleman.
Rip
He will be missed.
RIP. A legend in the truest sense of the word.

BB King led to Albert King, Johnnie Taylor, Howlin' Wolf, Robert Johnson, and on and on. He was the gateway.
Johnny Winter- the greatest guitarists out of Texas IMO. I had the chance to see him before he died. I still kick myself about that.
Johnny was great. I was hoping to see him during the new album tour, but he was taken from us too soon. If you want to hear a bada$$ Winter's album, get the one with John Lee Hooker and James Cotton, that's a Blues Album my friend!
I'm feeling blue right now.
He will be missed...'The Legend of the Blues'.
The Mrs. & I loved his music ( we saw & heard him play at the North Sea Jazz Festival in Holland in 1998), and may he Rest in Peace.

With all due respect to Mr. Presley and Mr. Jackson, B.B. will always be King. It's impossible to know just how much he changed the landscape of American music and life.
Derek Trucks gave a lovely and very respectful remembrance of B.B. King to Rolling Stone (http://www.rollingstone.com/music/features/derek-trucks-on-b-b-king-were-all-his-kids-20150515):

Here's hoping he gets to rip it up with Elmore James, too.
RIP sir.
RIP. I always enjoyed listening to his music.
R.I.P. BB king. Thanks for the great concerts and all the great albums.
Sad news, rest easy. And thank you.
+2. Great loss! Heard him live once in a small NOLA club. He was better in person. The thrill is gone, indeed!
