@farseas Sure are.
Originators and legends.
A lot of people these days don't have any respect or understanding of what people have gone through and succeeded in spite of.
BB King has played with almost every popular musical icon in living memory - from Elvis to James Brown, he's got about 50/60 years in show business, most kids these days don't last 2 years.
He had death threats on the road for years man, massive debts, and he never gave up.
Now the owner of a club and loved worldwide.

@craigfromnewcastle The black blues masters took pain and misery caused by centuries of racism and disrespect and distilled it into a pure art form. Without their genius we would not have rock n roll, jazz, blues, hip hop, R&B - in short, THE ROOTS OF AMERICAN MUSIC. Every time I hear some cracker (I'm white) say that blacks are stupid I just pity them. If Mozart were alive today these are the people he would be jamming with. THESE ARE OUR LIVING AMERICAN LEGENDS!

@farseas Absolutely.
B was incredibly kind to my Mother and I, a true gentleman.
I can't believe the level of disrespect on these comments - people have no idea what either of these men have been through.
Sometimes the human race disgusts me.

@craigfromnewcastle They are still greats in every way. And they are both two of the nicest people you will ever meet. I ran into Buddy on an Amtrak in Milwaukee recently and he was very cordial. These are the some of the giants whose shoulders we stand on today.

Talent like this doesn't exist anymore. Some day our "society" may "regress" and we can again see people who affect the people they play for, not try to con them, but probrably not. This is why recording was invented, to immortalize people like this, so maybe someday someone can learn from them.
This is the "classical" music of our time. People may be listening to these same guys thousands of years from now, why not, your not going to ever improve on them.

To anyone who doesn't know - both Buddy and B were the best in the game at one point - and for a long time.
The - best - in - the - game.
