Elvis, he was unique. And he loved the blues, it was a pity he didn't do more.
B. B. King
Kenny Burrell is overall the greatest guitarist in the world and he's my favorite.
B. B. King
When I do eventually drop, I pray to God that it will happen in one of three ways. Firstly, on stage or leaving the stage, then secondly in my sleep. And the third way? You'll have to figure that out for yourself!
B. B. King
Albert King wasn't my brother in blood, but he sure was my brother in Blues
B. B. King
