I didn't see a thread dedicated to this man so I wanted to make one to honor him.
B.B. King passed away Thursday. The man is a legend. He was a huge representative for Type-II diabetes and really an inspiration to all musicians. Even if you haven't listed to his music directly I guarantee someone you enjoy has inspirations from him or an artist that was inspired by him. The man could play the blues and make melodic transitions like few others.
A solid song (in a way a tribute) with one of my favorite blues players in Clapton:

A great rendition, one of many, of The Is Gone Away:

And then there is SRV, Albert King and B.B.

R.I.P. to a great musician who inspired so many more.
