More quotes by B. B. King
There's a sadness to all kinds of music if you want to hear it. There's also happiness to it if you want to hear it.
B. B. King
When I sing, I play in my mind the minute I stop singing orally, I start to sing by playing Lucille.
B. B. King
I guess you can look at me, and tell I'm the old man. My name is BB King.
B. B. King
Being a blues singer is like being black two times.
B. B. King
We all have idols. Play like anyone you care about but try to be yourself while you're doing so.
B. B. King
My mother was a very beautiful lady, I thought. She was very good to me. I guess - she died when I was nine and a half, but if she had lived I probably wouldn't be trying to play guitar. She wanted me to be known, but as something else. Not a guitar player.
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
Ladies, friends, and music - without those three, I wouldn't wanna be here
B. B. King
It just seemed to me that the way I played was nice. I could hear it myself.
B. B. King
I thought Eric Clapton was good. He still is. Not only is he good - he's rock's #1 guitarist, and he plays blues better than most of us
B. B. King
I wanted to connect my guitar to human emotions.
B. B. King
Everybody wants to go to Heaven, but no one wants to die to get there!
B. B. King
You never miss what you've never had. I never had any other life. I didn't know any other life.
B. B. King
Notes are expensive... spend them wisely
B. B. King
I can't afford no liquor, all I can buy is beer and wine.
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'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 do it because I still get a kick out of it. I still love performing. It keeps me young.
B. B. King
When I was young, I didn't play like I do today. So these kids are starting at the height that I've reached. Think what they might do over time.
B. B. King
I call myself a blues singer, but you ain't never heard me call myself a blues guitar man.
B. B. King
