A class act who had contributed much to the music industry, you will be missed.

 

What a legend.

RIP B.B.!

Your music and influence will live on forever!

 

The thrill is gone

 

Probably jamming with Jimi and SRV already.....

 

RIP BB King and Lucille, he was one of my favorite musicians. What he has done for modern music can not be described in word easily. Whether you were a blues fan or not, everyone knew who B.B. King was. He performed until he couldn't perform no more. Had a pleasure of seeing him concert and meeting him on several occasions.
One of the greatest has passed. RIP

 

Enormous loss. I miss him already. RIP BB.

 

Forget where the line came from but "Heaven has a hell of a band" just got another great guitarist.

 

It was from the song "Rock 'n' Roll Heaven" popularized by the Righteous Brothers in 1974 -- "...If there's a rock 'n' roll heaven, you know they got a hell of a band."

So long, Mr. King.

 

A true giant has passed.

Cousin had some BB records back in the late 60s and a fairly high-end Fisher component stereo to play them. All my folks listened to was country (probably why I can barely tolerate it to this day) and the first time I heard Lucille scream it sent chills up my 13-year-old spine. I knew then there was better music than that insipid country mess I'd been forced to hear all my life.

 

Yes, a very gifted man. R.I.P.

 

RIP BB King. You will be missed.

 

Waylon, Johnny, BB, Lennon, Harrison, Jones...

Who's gonna fill their shoes?

 

He influenced a lot of artists from Klapton to the Stones. He really was one of the giants of the industry. I regret I never got to see him. Lucille is quiet now.

RIP BB.

 

He will be sorely missed.
