I only "got into" the blues a few years back but he was up there at the top of my list. I visited his bar in Memphis but he wasn't serving that day... www.bbkings.com/memphis/gallery/

Saw him in the mid 90s at Hammersmith. Majestic performer, with a fantastic band.

I saw him at the Free Trade Hall, Manchester, on the bill with Fleetwood Mac.
Albatross was charting at the time - about 1970.

He looked old to me then!

Concert finished with both acts jamming together for about half an hour.

Brilliant night.

"Speechless!"
There is some fantastic stuff on youtube - some of the best are of Eric Clapton's Guitar festival where the likes of BB, Clapton, the Vaughans, Buddy Guy, Hubert Sumlin, Robert Cray are all on stage together.
eg or two

 BB King RIP - Armel Coussine
Strangely - because he's the real thing and terrific - BB King has never been a favourite of mine.

Sounds like a genuine middle-aged black man, anyway in middle age...
