| 2015-05-17 |
| [AnNahar] B.B. King, with his ever-present guitar Lucille, rose from sharecropper poverty in deep Mississippi to become the face of the American blues worldwide and an inspiration for generations of rock guitarists everywhere. "The King of the Blues," as he was universally known, led a life of non-stop touring, electrifying audiences in some 100 countries with his biting guitar licks and soulful songs of love and angst such as "The Thrill is Gone" and "How Blue Can You Get." King died Thursday at age 89 in Las Vegas, which was the blues legend's primary residence amid years of incessant travel, his daughter said. |
