Such a fine person, miss him still!!

[@DG-bb1jz]

He was such a humble man. What a gentleman. And he will always be a legend.

[@raula.gutierrez6943]

BB King is the best. Such a smart, generous, and talented man.

I gasped with the audience at that picture. Thank you for that. What an incredible interview.

[@prettyboy1970]

The 1980s were BBs prime years in my opinion. His guitar playing was sharp and expressive, and man, that voice! Second only to Bobby Bland as far as blues singers go,

[@justayoutuber1906]

Wow - I had never seen him in an interview - well spoken and a pilot!!

[@prettyboy1970]

Didnt know he was a dj. Now i know why hes always been so eloquent.

[@navreenkaur1305]

Hearing about his childhood made me numb

I would say that BB King, along with James Brown, was the greatest popular artist in the USA in the 20th century.
