[railcar123]

Brings a big smile to my face when I hear him...

[ruudschulten]

Yep great I believe only the version from Luther Allison Live in Paris got the same thrill ...

[MrACDC1997]

BB King=King of Blues

Elvis=King of Rock 'n' Roll

Michael Jackson= King of Pop

Justin Beiber=King of Dorks...

@MrACDC1997 Elvis isn't the king of anything and neither is Beiber

[MrACDC1997]

Sounds like he is saying that the thrill has gone away from singing "The Thrill is Gone"...

The story is that one night he was playing in a club in Twist Alabama and they used to fill a barrel with Kerosene to heat the club. Well two men in the club were fighting over a woman named lucille and knocked the barrel over and a river of fire filled the club. BB ran out, but forgot his guitar, which was an old acoustic gibson. He ran back in after it, and barely made it out alive. He subsequently named all of his guitars lucille to remind himself to never fight over a woman.

@ashmamma2003 is there more then one lucille??

[kzearo]

One of the best versions I've ever heard... Truly spectacular

[Videowatcher76]

Lucille is a ES335 Gibson , that BB has had since 1949

[M0ashibi]

not es335 , he is famous for playing the es355

[ducacalainho]

It's called Lucille.

[HaaHRdK]

what is the name of the guitar, BB King played with?

[kaylumnewell]

its some sort of gibson, 335 kinda shape but bb probably has is own model.

Legend!

[alexdldude]
