Blimey, a King has died every week lately. Marlon must be sat in his jail cell expecting to be shanked any moment.

RIP BB.

Got to see the man a few years back on a double bill with Gary Moore. Both gone now.

RIP BB.

I always thought he was overrated (and his best work ended 45-55 years ago) compared to some of his contemporaries who never crossed over as much into the mainstream and who died at a younger age( ie Junior Parker or Elmore James) but he undeniably was responsible for opening a lot of people's eyes to the blues and the originators of the music rather than the
British (and American) acts who took what those people had done,copied it and made piles of money as "rock gods".

I know what you mean but without the imitators the old Blues artists wouldn't have got any recognition due to American racism.

A sad loss to music

RIP BB

BB was the first Blues artist I heard...on the OGWT back in the 70's, so he opened me up to that music.

Saw him live once, around 10 or so years back, and I'm glad I had the chance.

RIP BB

My prized possession is a signed photo he gave me in Tokyo about 15 years ago, when I was lucky enough to meet him briefly. A charming man and a legend in the true sense.
