Blues are timeless because pain and suffering are timeless, and so is the strength to keep walking with your head up even when your back is bent.

This was filmed around the time that I met and interviewed B.B.- in Buffalo, for the entertainment magazine that my family was publishing at the time. Had the same lineup backing him. I was a teenager, learning to play the guitar, and I already owned some of B.B.'s albums. He was so friendly and "real", I was nervous, sitting in the presence of one of my guitar idols. I was afraid that I would say something stupid! When I saw the band onstage, I knew that this was exactly the type of band that I wanted to put together someday. R.I.P. Riley King.

[@albertobarbera663]

In the previous studio version the VIOLINS were terrible

[@Phil-hh5nj]

You. The man.

[@iconoclastic12007]

@@albertobarbera663 it was a different era. James Brown studio recordings sometimes had strings. Producers were trying to add elements they thought might make the music have broader appeal. Who knows, maybe those strings were the thing that made that song so popular because it was the beginning of his crossover appeal? I get it though, I don’t care for them either. It’s kind of like the stuff John Hammond was doing with Aretha prior to 1967, it just didn’t work for me because it seemed to detract from the artist’s core talent. You couldn’t take Aretha away from gospel and R&B, but they tried. Why did they add strings to a band that already had a horn section? It added more content to the range of Lucile, but they did it.

[@georgewashington3393]

I saw him at a festival in 2008 with my older brother and we were like we gotta see bb king before he dies. We get to the stage and he was laughing and smiling throwing pennies into the crowd then he picked up Lucille and said now I been hearing a lot of talk that bbs old and ain't going to be around much long...well I got something for them. Then he started shredding on Lucille and I remember my brother and I looking at each other like daaaaaamn.

saw him in Beijing china!

[@alyceclover]

I never saw him ~ was at the beach and heard Lucille, walked to en of beach closer to where he was performing in concert (long Beach CA) Weekend of September 9th, 2000 my son, daughters took me to NYC for my birthday. I wanted to go his Blues Club and Grill for lunch. Oldest decided we would go to a place in a World Trade Tower. I remember looking up at the tall towers, awed by their height.

[@cocogenelomita1245]

Treated my dad to a BB Concert here in Vegas for his retirement. 4th row seats with Al Green as the opening act! Good times!!

[@giancarloc1985]

Saw him a number of times in the 2000s up until 2013 or so just before he passed away. I miss his presence. He was also just an all around nice guy.

I was thinking the same thing. Having the technology to bring this into your living room is precious, and should not be taken for granted either.

It sure has gone away. This greedy,lustful, corrupt evil world we live today in is no thrill!!!

I love KZbin so much, because there isn't one song i cant find here for free,when i was young i had to collect soda bottles from the ditches on Carolina backroads, and turn em in, to go to the used record store and find gems like this.But, on the other hand, i miss doing those things.

Here is the Lyrics: Source "LyricFind" The thrill is gone The thrill is gone away The thrill is gone, baby The thrill is gone away You know you done me wrong, baby And you'll be sorry someday The thrill is gone It's gone away from me The thrill is gone, baby The thrill is gone away from me Although, I'll still live on But so lonely I'll be The thrill is gone It's gone away for good All the thrill is gone Baby, it's gone away for good Someday I know I'll be open-armed baby Just like I know, I know I should You know, I'm free, free now, baby I'm free from your spell Oh, free, free, free now, baby I'm free from your spell And now that it's all over All that I can do is wish you well

You know rap is a genra in itself with a lot of diversity and can be extremely technical and lyrical. Sure every musician should be blessed to know BB king but the comparison makes no sense. Rappers are not inferior to any other kind of musicians.
