Thanks for keeping the BB King legacy Alive. PS Got to meet the king over 30 times. and seen him in concert over 70 times. Etc. Changed my life forever and made me who I am today. Cheers! Sunny

[@bonniebrown6960]

I got to see BB king at a car show in Atlanta back in the 80's. I was only 16 or 17 years old at the time. He sat in a chair on stage most of the time. My mom's friend' and I started dancing. He saw us having fun. He started laughing at us and cutting up with us. That was a lot of fun. I really enjoyed this video Jordan. I'm so glad to hear these stories about him. There was a lot of things I didn't know about him. RIP BB King.

I’m lucky to have seen him 5 times live. Such an amazing man

I met Mr King years ago and sat next to him on his tour bus as he was watching a Mike Tyson fight on the TV. It was pretty special as he signed a Lucile guitar my friend brought with him to the concert.

[@karentarr8930]

B B King is more than a legend he will live on forever, there will never be another, the father of modern blues and he loved Rock and role, Rock on BB. RIP 🙏

Had the pleasure of seeing B.B. King in concert. He was amazing. Really happy to have had the chance 🕊❤🕉🍏

[@aliciamarie9704]

I saw him play at an outdoor theatre in Georgia. It was really laid back & a good time. The weather was perfect that day.

[@conway2121]

I was working in Windsor Ontario one summer, ON my way home B.B. Kings bus was at K.F.C. ON THE hWY, I MET b.b. king. pretty awesome day.

In the late 90s, I was driving to Las Vegas and saw his tour bus coming from there on the highway.

One of my absolute favorite concerts was seeing both B.B. King and Albert King at the Fox Theater in St. Louis in the early 1990s. It was an amazing show I will never forget.

[@skyangelthefan]

🦁 I am a HUGE Blues Music 🎶 Lover and BB King was the first Blues artist that got me into loving Blues music. I hear Blues music and I don’t care where I am at I will start swaying and dancing. No doubt that I am going to have to do this trip and pay my respects to the man of Blues…BB King 👑 💕🙏. Great Vlog! Safe Travels

[@joshuawaltz9484]

I listen to BB King and Albert King on Pandora when I take my daily walk. Gotta love some blues.

[@karlinman]

The cemetery has the incorrect guitar that BB played. They show a Les Paul when BB was well known for his Gibson ES-355.

B.B. King was iconic! His playing of the Blues was amazing. Nice vlog Jordan.

The man who could not sing, and play at the same time. He influenced many blues guitar players. Thanks Jordan again for his story!

[@arlenmargolin4868]

You know I never realized that you really never saw him doing both I didn't realize that was the case though

[@pjhunton]

Nice vlog as usual, BB was my introduction to the blues and continues to be among my favourites. Great musician, had come rain or shine with Eric Clapton as my wedding dance.

[@outsider238]

I think that corner was the best part. Where it all began and seeing his hands and feet prints still there. Very cool!

[@DazewithJordantheLion]

I felt the same way. Seeing that corner sent chills up my spine.. I could almost see it for a moment with people passing by, watching..

[@outsider238]

@@DazewithJordantheLion Exactly! I hope they never change that corner and preserve his prints.

[@jasonmcgovern1364]

Hi Jordan, love the GLASSES! What a brilliant bench with the statue at the Museum. Nice to see where he is buried. Glad that his handprints and footprints have survived where they are. Great vlog Jordan.

Thank You sooooo much…I was hoping you would make this video. I love Mr. King and hope I too can make the journey to visit his grave and pay my respects. Thanks again…Love and Light!!

[@rockabillybum]

I got to see him in concert twice and I got to shake his hand…I would’ve paid the price of the ticket just to hear him play and sing one song…sooo much talent.

[@mrs.v.3837]

Great video. Thank You so much!

[@rclarkcarpenter]

So cool to see my favorite vlogger in my hometown! I love how you and Adam the Woo get out there and really dig into the cool history of America. No matter how big or small the town, how dusty or long the back road, your commitment to tell the story is always appreciated. BB always had a June homecoming concert that I attended many times throughout my youth and teenage years. It’s amazing how when such an icon grew up in and existed in your backyard you don’t grasp the magnitude of his influence and worldwide popularity or how far it reached. Thank you for sharing our community with the world.

[@TheSherryBoops]

Great Vlog Jordan. Love ya Jah.🎸

[@Jeff_The_Weatherman]

Jordan, good thing you had dry weather, the roads in the Mississippi Delta can get tough to drive in when wet, sometimes they flood. In Greenville, there is a 80 year-old eatery called, "Doe's Eat Place". I did a paper on it when I as at Ole Miss, but have not been there yet. In the '80s Arkansas Gov. Bill Clinton used to frequent the place. Very unique, old school dining. They didn't even clean the ovens because the flavor for the steaks are built in there, at least at the time I wrote the paper. Possibly worth a Vlog next time you are in the Miss Delta.

I loved this video of BB King. Thank you so much.

In the 80's BB played at Toad's place in New Haven,Ct. a bunch of us went to the show and when it was over we got to go on stage and mingle about talking with him and his band .i believe i was still in high school. 🎸

I saw him performed in a Miami Beach club so many years ago thank you for your vlog

I saw him one last time not long before he passed at the Perot Theater in Texarkana Texas. One of my best friends has seen him 18 times in concert. He said back in the day he would do 3 hour shows.

[@nikkid3235]

Really cool.

I lived near there. I moved to the Delta to work at my dad's TV station, it was a culture shock from Houston Texas. I'll call someone I know to repair the sign. 😁

I love a dirt road,I walked many of them growing up in Ga.but there’s not many of them left anymore but we still have a few of them around lol,but yeah I love them and also that’s how I learned to drive is on a dirt road we would just get in the car with our mom on sundays and just ride to see where they went,we would dig up wild flowers and bring them home to plant sometime they were dead ends and we would turn around and go back where we came from,it was so much fun…I miss those days on them dirt roads.🥰😝😘😁

[@brandonhorton5172]

Really enjoyed watching this video. I am from Louisiana but my fathers side of the family are all from Indianola and have visited there as a kid. My grandparents are also buried in Indianola. My grandmother owned the flower shop in Indianola way back in the day, and I remember her telling me she knew B.B. and when he was in town and needed flowers he would go to her. Thanks Jordan!

[@Bob-jg3vq]

Fantastic Vlog! Thank you for showing us. Even though you weren't allowed to film most of the BB King Museum it was great to see his grave and the areas he lived. Artists like BB King Muddy Waters and Johnny Cash were very popular with us kids starting in the late 60's throughout their careers!!

[@giafreed8403]

Saw a young lady probably 22 ish bring flowers and laid them down on the stage in front of BB- he immediately started bawling-the girl turned around, he called her back and gave her the ring he was wearing. It was awesome to watch.

Cool video, I'd like to make this trip now. I assumed B.B. and Albert were related to, now we know!

[@richardmoore7067]

Thanks for this video Jordan. B.B was an absolute legend. I could listen to him for hours & as you said he could win a blues battle by playing just one note. The look on his face as the blues took over his body when he was playing. Sorely missed

Back in the day I had a jazz studies class and I had to attend 2 concerts. One of them was B.B. King (Not jazz but he let it slide lol). He was just incredible. I'll never forget it. The other was Chick Corea. It's really a shame people would take advantage of such a good man like B.B. King.

[@squinkque]

I've been getting into B.B. King lately but I've got to admit that I always liked Albert King better over the years. Albert's sound to me was always a bit harder edged, more hard rock like if you will. It would be interesting to see a vlog on Albert, although I really do appreciate this one on B.B., It is weird that such a humble guy has such an ostentatious resting place. Still he was definitely one of the greatest ever.

[@arlenmargolin4868]

You know I can relate as far as not putting BB King at the top of your list I mean I would probably rather go see Elmore James over BB King any day but then again that's why they call it personal taste I guess

[@BlastinAdrian]

Saw SRVs brother open for Buddy Guy

[@wesaoak]

I did a little checking and sad to say that the reason B.B. Kings Blue sighn was down is because of souvenir hunters, the Lady I talked to said it will be replace with a better post. It is sad that people have so little respect for others wishing to visit historic places.
