B. B. King : (5)

" I don’t care for the music when they’re talking bad about women because I think women are God’s greatest gift to the planet – I just like music. " - B. B. King

" As for my band, well, my mentors were Duke Ellington, Benny Goodman, Jimmie Lunceford, and no one had a band more smartly dressed than Duke. " - B. B. King

" Everybody wants to go to Heaven, but no one wants to die to get there! " - B. B. King

" Everything I record, I just try to sound like me and come up with songs that suit what I do and then just go for it. I never know what the public’s going to like, anyway. " - B. B. King

" Touring a segregated America – forever being stopped and harassed by white cops hurt you most ‘cos you don’t realise the damage. You hold it in. You feel empty, like someone reached in and pulled out your guts. You feel hurt and dirty, less than a person. " - B. B. King
