“I was at the Apollo Theater one time, and there was a critic there, and to me what he said was one of the greatest compliments that people have given me. The critic wrote: ‘B.B. King sings, and then Lucille sings.’ That made me feel very good, because I do feel that I’m still singing when I play. That’s why I don’t play a lot of notes, maybe like some people. Maybe that’s the reason my music is very simple—that’s the way I sing. When I play a solo, I hear me singing through the guitar.” – B.B. King
The day will come when there’s nothing new to see
And then you’ll know here is where you want to be
You know my song used to take your heart away
That same old feeling is gonna bring you back to stay
When it all comes down, look for me
I’ll still be around
When it all comes down, look for me
I’ll still be around
We will miss you, B.B. King!
