Damn n I was just looking at that Married With Children episode where he was singing in it the other day not good if hes in a hospice

 

[surv2syn]

they need to delete that photo now.

I saw him live at HOB once. GOAT Blues guitarist.

just wait til the movie on his life comes out.

There comes that time where this will be where all of us end up

How tf did his manager get power of attorney?

Toney will probably have control over his estate smh

This is what I'm wondering. He has power of attorney and is the executor of his estate which leads me to believe his kids have little say so in what happens to their dad.

I read from one daughter that his manger has been swindling money from BB for years and as of lately, been neglecting BB's health by letting him miss doses of his medication and doctors visit just so he could keep touring.

That picture is still fukking with me. I don't like to see our legends like that, breh.

We've got to get TMZ to take that shyt down.

Arguably The GOAT guitar player and revolutionized guitar based music

Bands like Pink Floyd, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Cream, & Led Zepplin made careers off straight jacking BB King guitar riffs

The epitome of black excellence. Hopefully he makes it to 90

Even if they take that down now, nothing can stop it from being recirculated all over.

Most of those classic rock groups straight up jacked Black blues riffs.

Real recognize real. Giving Prince props.

Also speaks on how young whites embrace the Blues and young Blacks avoid it.

 

[mamba]

This is our damn history, brehs.

Those BBC cacs always do a great job of covering Black music. Why in the hell aren't we doing this as Black people?

 

[PortCityProphet]

The thrill is gone
BB is the blues.

I was born in the MS Delta area where he and many others got their starts. If anyone knows anything about the area, Nelson Street in Greenville, MS use to be huge because it was the halfway point when a lot of these cats traveled from NOLA to Memphis, STL or the Chi. They all made it a point to stop there, Cleveland MS, Clarksdale and other spots. One of the coolest things musically that I remember was seeing him, Bobby Blue Bland and John Lee Hooker perform at this blues festival. Then my aunt went and got a hug from him cause her husband and he use to sip shine and chop it up whenever he'd come to a club my uncle use to own. One hell of a cool as dude. Hope he makes it thru this

We just lost Percy Sledge.
