The great bluesman BB King has died. RIP.
Everyone has different associations - mine, immediately, for him, will always be with this great album ...

I remember playing Blues Boy's single
The Thrill Is Gone 45 single in late 1969 and in 1970! He will be missed dearly! The two live albums Live at the Regal and Live in Cook County Jail are legendary!
Rest in peace brother Riley with your best girl
Lucille!

From his self proclaimed 'best' ever album, Indianola Mississippi Seeds from 1970. It is indeed a great album, featuring a young Carole King on piano!
