More quotes by B. B. King
I liked blues from the time my mother used to take me to church. I started to listen to gospel music, so I liked that. But I had an aunt at that time, my mother's aunt, who bought records by people like Lonnie Johnson, Robert Johnson, Blind Lemon Jefferson and a few others.
B. B. King
No one can take it away from you.
B. B. King
Ladies, friends, and music - without those three, I wouldn't wanna be here
B. B. King
I'm self-taught. But I finally learned that they was having little shows or night dances or whatever you call them at little juke joints not far from where I lived, and I used to go there. They wouldn't let me play inside, but I could sit outside on the weekends, when it wasn't raining or something.
B. B. King
I can't afford no liquor, all I can buy is beer and wine.
B. B. King
Hard times don't necessarily mean being poor all the time. I've known people that was a part of a family and always feel that the family likes everybody else but them. That hurts and that's as deep a hurt as you can possibly get.
B. B. King
I gave you seven children, but now you want to give them back.
B. B. King
Being a blues singer is like being black two times.
B. B. King
It just seemed to me that the way I played was nice. I could hear it myself.
B. B. King
I think of guitar players in terms of doctors: you have the doctor for your heart, the cardiologist, then one that works on your feet, your leg. But I believe George Benson is the one that plays all over. To me, he would be the M.D. of them all.
B. B. King
I don't think it's meant for man to know everything at once.
B. B. King
The crowds treat me like my last name. When I go onstage people usually stand up, I never ask them to, but they do. They stand up and they don't know how much I appreciate it.
B. B. King
Many people leave the country to see beautiful places. I just look out the window and see some of the most gorgeous scenery ever, right here in the USA.
B. B. King
When you heard Jimi Hendrix, you knew it was Jimi Hendrix. He introduced himself with his instrument. His attack to a guitar man, was, oh, something else! You think of one of the great American ball players, or one of the great fighters of the world, you know, that's the way he would attack any note on his guitar.
B. B. King
Kenny Burrell is overall the greatest guitarist in the world and he's my favorite.
B. B. King
It's going to be years and years before most people realize how greatly he contributed to American music.
B. B. King
Albert King wasn't my brother in blood, but he sure was my brother in Blues
B. B. King
I tried to connect my singing voice to my guitar an' my guitar to my singing voice. Like the two was talking to one another.
B. B. King
Water from the white fountain didn't taste any better than from the black fountain.
B. B. King
I've been married twice. Most women would rather not be married to a traveling blues singer
