THE THRILL IS GONE
Mr. King passed peacefully in his sleep at 9:40 pm Pacific time May 14 2015
Yes. A legend gone. My quintessential BB King album is Live at the Regal. Recorded in 1964 I think. I got it in '65 or '66. Played it until it was almost worn out. Now I own the CD. Check out track 2, Sweet Little Angel. You will hear no better playing anywhere. Lovely worm round tone on the guitar. BB's singing is superb and the crowd is into it.
Thanks for the tip Bob , I most likely have heard it I would think.but I will now make it a point to find that song & listen to it for sure. Cheers ! Les
