Jamel. Been waiting for one of your sessions that is only a few minutes gone in case you see this straight off in the comments. You simply have to listen to and fall in love with Bjork, pronounced Byork. She is so unique. You will never have heard anyone like her or will do again. Start with ' it's so quiet.'
"I'm trying to get people to see that we are our brother's keeper. Red, white, black, brown or yellow, rich or poor, we all have the blues." (B.B. King---1925----2015)
B.B. King changed the blues. After he hit everybody tried to sound like him and they still are. I met him at his club in Memphis. He was a class act and probably forgot more about music than most people will ever know. This is my favorite reaction vid of all time!! Got to love it!
Thumbs up before viewing! Jamal...PLEASE react to some Albert King! He did an In session with SRV too in 1983! Anything from "Born under a bad sign" from the "Velvet Bulldozer" as some called Albert King!
@@garykloetzel9491: Um, no. He was playing in a jook joint in a rural part of Oklahoma. The joint was lit by burning kerosene in a barrel. Two guys got into a fight over a woman, one of them managed to kick over the barrel, setting the place on fire. BB ran out, then ran back in to get his guitar. He later found out that the fight was over a woman named Lucille, so he named that guitar and subsequent others (including a Fender Telecaster) Lucille to remind himself not to do something so stupid again.
BB King has more emotion in his little finger than most guitarists have in their entire body. His story from very humble beginnings is a history of the blues in America. The 60s generation of rock guitar players loved him and he was finally the big success he always should have been. When I was a new guitar player my dad brought a BB King album home..."son, you need to listen to this"
Best vocals of BB and Bono going head to head and stretching their voices to the limits. I just love it when BB king sings like that.........BLUES ON STEROIDS!!
Saw BB King live in the summer of 2000 in Bonn, Germany. He had to play the entire concert sitting in a chair. The man was 75 years old back then and he still did around 300 gigs a year, touring all over the world. Legend!
We've always acknowledge the absolute kingdom of BB King's guitar playing. But I hadn't thought how timing is a magical thing. And silence is part of sound. God what an artist
I had a chance to meet BB at the State Theater in Ohio a long time ago. The artists today could learn something from him. Such a cool person. Actually willing to give me a lesson in how to play blues after finding out I was a new guitarist. That's something I'll never forget.
@iluv2wheelers Thx so much...I loved it! Great voice. If I coulda had a few of Clapton's guitar licks up in there, woulda loved it even more!. Saw a live performance uploaded too. Gonna go back and take a listen. Subscribe to John's channel while I'm there. Thx again!
@iluv2wheelers Well..got my guitar licks, lol. Even some slide from Mr.Sonny Landreth!! Only thing I didn't like about it, was I couldn't crank it any louder, lol. Since you told me about John, you've probably seen this live, but just in case....ruclips.net/video/aGt0uAC9FIE/видео.html. Thx again...it's now on my playlist!
@iluv2wheelers Bonamassa's on my playlist as well, him and Beth Hart, but I haven't seen him covering this. I will have in a few minutes, lol. Thx again!
In 82 we saw BB perform this song live in Reno at a small club. No more than 10 feet from the stage. Absolutely amazing and something we will never forget. Loved it Jamal. Thanks and greetings from 🇨🇦
Saw him on I think his final tour...he stayed and talked to the audience for a while afterwards....a true gentleman and amazing performer for sure! Lucille (the guitar) was sounding fantastic as always :)
Even with diabetes and having to sit down, you could feel his love of the music and the fans. We may have the music but the musicians are either gone of dying and we should always remember the sacrifice and love.
B.B. King was my introduction to the blues, which is one of my favorite styles of music now. I remember in my late teens finding a copy of his album "His Best: The Electric B.B. King" (1968) at our local library. I ended up checking that album out of the library every few weeks. I probably owed them a copy for wear and tear. I now have quite a few of B.B.'s albums on LP and CD. I was also fortunate enough to see him in concert several times.
The phrasing and the dynamics of his playing, and then he comes in with that voice. He truly was the king. This is probably my favorite performance of this song
Had the pleasure of seeing him live shortly before his death, and even though you could tell he wasn’t well he gave his all. He made a point to individually introduce his band members, but was especially proud to introduce his nephew ( who was his bandleader ) and how proud he was that his nephew was the first college graduate in the family.
Hey Noah! My intro to Mr Albert King was "I Wanna get Funky". Woah bro'! That gave me some serious STANK FACE! Glad you're here and hope you're doing well!
He performed this song with the great Gary Moore - well worth looking out for it. Two performers showing respect for each other and enjoying every minute of it.
The end of that music video was legendary! I’m ashamed I’ve never heard this song before, thank you for introducing me to this masterpiece Jamel. Loved the reaction also, had a couple laughs from the things you said. Thank you for another perfect reaction 😊
Welcome to the Blues. Now, dig deep, young man. Muddy Waters Mannish Boy and Long Distance Call. Howling Wolf Red Rooster. John Lee Hooker Boom Boom Boom. Anything by Irma Thomas. From an old white guy from Mississippi
I had the great privilege of seeing BB King in concert in 2008, with special guest Etta James opening. Neither one of them was around very long after that show - BB was well into his 80s by then. I will never forget BB King coming to the stage and having a seat in that chair, and absolutely killing. After the first number, he said, "Yeah, I know what y'all are thinking - here's this old man that can't even stand up to play a show, legs no good, back no good, and no good, head probably ain't no good neither... And you'd be right." Then he spent the next two hours burning the house down from that chair.
Saw the great BB King some years ago and it was awesome. After the first song, they brought out his chair and he sat down saying, "You'll have to excuse me, but I'm 75 years old!" Nobody in the crowd minded. Whatever he needed in order to deliver was fine with us.
I was fortunate enough to see him perform twice during his Farewell Tour. Even when age had obviously been taking its toll and he couldn't be on stage that long, every second of it was magical. And one of the great things was: even when this was at quite a big venue (about 15.000 people), the volume wasn't that loud at all, much lower than with most concerts. Yet everyone was silent and just being enthralled by his music. Absolutely two of the greatest concert I've ever been.
When people mention the blues.....this is the man who instantly comes to mind! R.I.P. TO THE LEGEND B.B. KING. Thanks for being you Jamel, there's not many people who REALLY want to keep great music alive, but you surely do without a doubt! As always, Peace and love from Baltimore, Maryland, U.S.A!
Riley B. King performing on Sonny Boy Williamson’s radio program KWEM in Memphis [1948], the" blooming bluesman" soon gained a following for his unique voice and the way he played his guitar, named "Lucille". For the young Riley King, this was an auspicious place to be heard. Williamson brought many of his musician friends from his former radio show "King Biscuit Time" to perform, including Robert Nighthawk, Elmore James, and Arthur “Big Boy” Crudup. His rising star resulted in a ten-minute show on the Memphis radio station WDIA that became B.B.’s show, the 'Sepia Swing Club'. It was as a guitarist and radio DJ that King adopted the nickname “Beale Street Blues Boy,” which shortened to “Blues Boy” and finally, B.B.
His music was used in the movie INTO THE NIGHT, starring Jeff Goldblum and Michelle Pfeiffer. Carl Perkins and David Bowie made appearances in the movie.
In case you haven't noticed, his very unique style of never singing and playing simultaneously. He sings a line, then describes that emotion with the guitar. That is the genius of the incomparable B.B. King! 🇨🇦🍁🇨🇦🍁🇨🇦🍁🇨🇦
My favorite BB King song is "How Blue can you get" One line used to make me chuckle because I had a blended family of 7 kids, (oldest was 10). Anyway the line was "I gave seven children And now you wanna give them back" I love my kids with every fiber of my being, but there were days that I FELT that line!!! LMAO
enjoyed the reaction jamel! so many great blues artists worthy of reaction "john lee hooker" "howlin wolf" "magic sam" "homesick james" "big mama thornton" and so on, reacting to any of these artists would be amazing "MORE BLUES" ; )
There are only a few MASTERS of guitar. Segovia. Hendrix. Buckethead. B.B. King's guitar is an extension of himself, and even though it may have been the nicest guitar made at the time, it means nothing unless it's held by the man who knows it up and down, and this man knows. He doesn't play music. He feels music. I feel silly recommended it after but my request still remains Modest Mouse "Teeth like Godshoeshine" and "Dramamine" whatcha waiting for I know you seen one of the hundreds of times I said it. I garuntee Isaac Brock from MM plays guitar like no one you ever heard. He's become a legend unto himself in his time.....but B.B. King is undeniably legend.
B.B. King died in his sleep on May 14, 2015, at the age of 89 from vascular dementia caused by a series of small strokes as a consequence of his type 2 diabetes. Imagine this guy was doing concerts all the way until he was 88 or 89 years old. Imagine BB King sang at the whitehouse with Pres Obama in 2012 . Great company with a great musician and great president ...rip BB
That never gets boring no matter how many times I watch it. My biggest regret is never seeing B.B. King live, especially in 2006 when he toured with Gary Moore. My two favourite guitarists together and I couldn't get a ticket. That note as he stood up, WOW! He makes it look so easy to play the blues while putting so much passion into his playing.
I saw B.B. in concert 5 times and every show was special. The man toured and played right up until the end. He really was the king. It's too bad they're blocking his music, otherwise I would tell you to check out his live performance from San Quentin prison.
Not alot of notes, but they all had meaning. Interesting, BB couldn't sing and play at the same time. BB was that cool Uncle we all love. One of the GOAT bluesmen! Great reaction.
Had the pleasure of seeing BB live a couple of times. One particular time I was sat front and centre. At the end of the concert I was standing and I offered my hand up and he graciously shook my hand. That thrill hasn’t gone! I wish everyone well.
Very nice, later in life live version. Doesn't touch the original. Please do the album version, or at least a quality live version from the 70s. Needs the full orchestra.
There is only one BB King!!! When you and the one that you loved, are not together anymore, the blues will take over. We have all been there!! But no one sings then like BB King.
BB is and will forever be the man. There is nobody who gave more of themselves to music than he did. If you were a musician or a music fan of a certain age, the word of BB was essentially the word of god. He surrounded himself with so much talent, and he still stood head and shoulders above them all.
I'd like to pass this along to the viewers here, 2 must check out albums by BB King: 1. LIVE at The Regal (1952) Young BB, epic concert!! 2. BB King and Bobby "Blue" Bland...together live for the first time (1976) These 2 together...are you kidding me🔥🔥🔥
One of the greatest guitarist who ever lived and no one ever noticed he couldn't sing and play at the same time nor could he chord but it didn't matter at all
This man influenced so many other great artist. Love to hear him sing and play . Also please react to some "Police" , The song Roxan comes to mind . You will love it :) keep up the great music !

No truer words were ever spoken Ms.Lorraine rock on sister!!!
Heard this a thousand times, and still get chills. BB and Lucille . . . pure magic. Thanks for posting this Jamel :)
A mini Lucille would look mighty fine on Jamel’s wall.
@@jussinawaydeanamortl5680 Agreed!
I have dozens of live versions of this, all fantastic.
Indeed!
BB is gone but Buddy Guy is still alive. See him before he goes if you can. I've seen both many times. p.s. Buddy Guy was Jimi Hendrix's guitar hero.
I love the clip of him with Derek Trucks and his wife Susan.
Buddy Guy was going to give it all up if it wasn’t for Muddy Waters who took him under his wing.
@@perijetton9275 I saw Buddy Guy with Susan Tedeschi and Johnny Lang. Epic show. Back when Susan just hit it big with that second album.
@@manfredadams3252 wow! I bet that was awesome!
SRV also credited Buddy Guy as the best blues guitarist.
B.B. King changed the blues. After he hit everybody tried to sound like him and they still are. I met him at his club in Memphis. He was a class act and probably forgot more about music than most people will ever know. This is my favorite reaction vid of all time!! Got to love it!
I read BBKing was the first to use string bending on his recordings!
I am so jealous. I was watching his website waiting for him to play in the UK. He didn't make it. I would have loved to see him live!
Thumbs up before viewing!
Jamal...PLEASE react to some Albert King! He did an In session with SRV too in 1983! Anything from "Born under a bad sign" from the "Velvet Bulldozer" as some called Albert King!
I’ll play the blue for you my favorite Albert king
B.B. isn't called The King of the Blues for nothing. This is one of my absolute favorite blues songs.
He called his guitar Lucille bc he beat a guy up in a bar w his guitar case over a girl named Lucille.
@@garykloetzel9491: Um, no. He was playing in a jook joint in a rural part of Oklahoma. The joint was lit by burning kerosene in a barrel.

"Dad, what's blues music?"
"Glad you asked, Junior. Your journey starts with this. Hang on tight."
Try BB King with U2 "When Love Comes to Town"
Great suggestion!
O....yea great suggestion.
OmG yes yes please, My Fav U2 song
Best vocals of BB and Bono going head to head and stretching their voices to the limits. I just love it when BB king sings like that.........BLUES ON STEROIDS!!
Saw BB 3 times live over the years and i am a better person for it.
Saw him 3 times live as well. One time he started late because he was watching a baseball game at the bar 😄
🎧 💓 🎶
I, too, saw him 3X!
Once with Santana, way back in the 70s.
I saw him once in Spokane, WA in the 80s. 🎸 👍
Love BB King!!! Listen to him and Eric Clapton playing Riding With the King 🤴, they are awesome together and have an album together too
Saw BB King live in the summer of 2000 in Bonn, Germany. He had to play the entire concert sitting in a chair. The man was 75 years old back then and he still did around 300 gigs a year, touring all over the world. Legend!
BB discovered Joe Bonamassa when Joe was 13 years old and BB had him opening for his shows.
We've always acknowledge the absolute kingdom of BB King's guitar playing. But I hadn't thought how timing is a magical thing. And silence is part of sound. God what an artist
Muddy waters live 1960!!! Love ya bro
React to " The Thrill Is Gone " B.B. King , Eric Clapton , Robert Cray and Jimmy Vaughan (2010 Crossroads )
Yes! Robert Cray's "Smoking Gun" is fire!
Ron Smith Oh yeah, hard to get better. Crossroads put together some great blues partners over the years.
Going WAY back - Robert Johnson is a must.
The man that wrote Crossroads and Sweet Home Chicago!
I had a chance to meet BB at the State Theater in Ohio a long time ago. The artists today could learn something from him. Such a cool person. Actually willing to give me a lesson in how to play blues after finding out I was a new guitarist. That's something I'll never forget.
"The Thrill Is Gone".....my all-time-favorite B.B. King song. His voice and expertise on the guitar...I can feel in my 'soul'!!!
Ridin' with the king !!! Could you try to react to Otis Rush performing Can't Quit You Baby.
Riding With The King...love that song...BB and Clapton.👍

There's a vid floating around of mr King re-stringing a guitar during a live performance while he sang on. A True Pro.
Saw him on I think his final tour...he stayed and talked to the audience for a while afterwards....a true gentleman and amazing performer for sure! Lucille (the guitar) was sounding fantastic as always :)
Even with diabetes and having to sit down, you could feel his love of the music and the fans. We may have the music but the musicians are either gone of dying and we should always remember the sacrifice and love.
“RIDING WITH THE KING” - B.B. King and “Brother” Eric Clapton!
You won’t regret it. The entire album is gold!
✌️
... don't you know you're riding with the king!!! *sing
YES!
He and Eric do a lot of great ones together.
Something that not many people would think of is B. B. King and Jerry Reed duet' In the Sack'. They also performed ' The Thrill Is Gone'.
One of my favorites! Thanks Jamel ☮️💜

Blues IS the roots everything else IS the fruits. Willie Dixon
I'd like to pass this along to the viewers here, 2 must check out albums by BB King:
1. LIVE at The Regal (1952)
Young BB, epic concert!!
2. BB King and Bobby "Blue" Bland...together live for the first time (1976) These 2 together...are you kidding me🔥🔥🔥
the blues is everything!
one of the greats
One of the greatest guitarist who ever lived and no one ever noticed he couldn't sing and play at the same time nor could he chord but it didn't matter at all
Check out TAB BENOIT NIGHT TRAIN
"I don't play no chords" - BB (Rattle & Hum)
