Susanna Girl Posted May 15, 2015 Report Share Posted May 15, 2015 I was really sad to hear this too. He was blessed with a pretty long life considering his health issues (diabetes). RIP Mr. King. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony D. Posted May 16, 2015 Report Share Posted May 16, 2015 I have some favorite guitarists from Chet Atkins to George Benson, who are or were the best in the business. B.B. King may not have been as fancy or fast on the instrument, but he could pour his soul into his playing and make you feel the emotion of the song he was playing. I always enjoyed his music. I read that he was a nice person & treated his fans well. I also read his favorite singer was Frank Sinatra.......I never knew that! I pray he is in heaven, playing in the heavenly orchestra! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
