In Memoriam of B. B. King 04 / 15 / 15

[BklynBlue]

We lost one of the last true giants today, Mr. B. B. King. Even as one of the only, if not the only blues musician that the general public knew by name, his influence on musicians whose fame far out-passed his own leaves a legacy few will attain.

As anyone familiar with his work knows, and as he himself has readily acknowledged, King had a profound influence on the early playing style of Peter Green.

Here is a partial list of songs Green recorded or performed that were associated with King:

All Over Again – (a.k.a. I Got A Mind To Give Up Living)

Buzz Me

How Blue Can You Get

If You Let Me Love You

Mean Old World

Need Your Love So Bad

Sweet Little Angel

Sweet Sixteen

Worried Dream
