King of the blues, blues legend B.B. King has just passed away.

He was 89 years old.

I liked him when he made appearances on The Fresh Prince as well as Sanford & Son. On Sanford & Son, BB found his lost love, Aunt Esther! Watch it sucka!

The guy is definitely a legend. I saw him play in Northampton about 8 years ago. He was old then but damn, he still had it.

I saw him perform when I was an undergrad. Truly an amazing artist, the world is a little less without him.

89's a very good age to go out on. I hope he lead a good long life.

Saw him live a couple years back with my dad. Glad I did.

Well into his 80s, obviously, and still put on hell of show.

What will become of Lucille?

RIP

What's really sad is we knew he would be going soon as a couple weeks ago he was put in hospice care.

I admit, I'm not a fan of jazz, but he was a good musician and did a good job when he played. Definitely a legend in his craft. I also remember him from the One Touch strips commercials he used to do.
