Legendary Blues musician Blues Boy "B.B." King passed away on May 14th, at the age of 89.
New York Times article about B.B. King
Why am I writing about this on my Hard Rock/Metal blog? Because King influenced so many guitarists over generations, including Eric Clapton and Jimmy Page.
Even if you do not like Blues music you must respect it. All forms of popular music today can directly trace their origins to American Blues. And on of the best Bluesman of all time has passed, so listen "The Thrill Is Gone" and say thank you to Blues Boy King for all the music he gave the world.
