More quotes by B. B. King
If you want to be a good blues singer, people are going to be down on you, so dress like you're going to the bank to borrow money.
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
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!

Playing the guitar is like telling the truth - you never have to worry about repeating the same [lie] if you told the truth. You don't have to pretend, or cover up. If someone asks you again, you don't have to think about it or worry about it because there it is. It's you.

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
I guess you can look at me, and tell I'm the old man. My name is BB King.

No one can take it away from you.
B. B. King
The beautiful thing about learning is nobody can take it away from you.
B. B. King
Sometimes the proprietors of the little juke joints gave me a couple dollars. I loved that. I'd go back next Saturday.
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
I've always liked ladies all my life. I guess it started with my mom. So every time I saw a pretty lady, I thought, she's pretty.
B. B. King
I don't think it's meant for man to know everything at once.
B. B. King
Nobody loves me but my mother, And she could be jivin' too.
B. B. King
I was born on a plantation, and things weren't so good. We didn't have any money. I never thought of the word 'poor' till I got to be a man, but when you live in a house that you can always peek out of and see what kind of day it is, you're not doing so well. And your restroom is not inside the house.
B. B. King
