B.B. King
  B.B. King is truly the King of the blues.  From his early start to his life-long career, this guy has been playing world tours 'round the clock.  What can I say?  B.B.'s blues are simply the best.  With the help of his baby, Lucille, King makes some of the sweetest music I've ever heard.  His butterfly tremolo the he plays with is probably the best out there.  When it comes to tone and style, he is all blues.  My most favorite song that he's peformed has got to be "The Thrill is Gone."  Sure, King has a lotof hits, but that one's gotta be the best.  But watch out, B.B. doesn't like to get technical..."I don't do no chords," says King. 
But what makes him even more great in my opinion is that he can apply the blues anywhere.  B.B. King is a crossover artist without having being a "crossover artist." He has collaborated with everyone from Eric Clapton to Bonnie Raitt to U2.  Everything this guy does sounds awesome.  Truly a living legend.  The world will surely miss him when he's gone.
Animation is the key to a good show... oh yeah, that and good music.  We all know B.B. ain't got a problem with that.
Baby, how blue can YOU get?......
You gotta love it when a guy plays the blues in a Hawaiian shirt... my kinda guy.
