You only live but once, and when your died your done, so let the good times roll.
B. B. King
Albert King wasn't my brother in blood, but he sure was my brother in Blues
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.

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.

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!

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 just seemed to me that the way I played was nice. I could hear it myself.
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
I do it because I still get a kick out of it. I still love performing. It keeps me young.
B. B. King
There are so many sounds I still want to make, so many things I haven't yet done.
B. B. King
