Thank you BB King. As a young white child from a very racist community, you were a beacon of light. Listening to your music changed my life. By showering me with your deep heart-drawn blues, you made me realize how powerful music is in combating racism. It also reinforced how wrong racism is, making me a lone child speaking for equality in an unequal world. You sang and played your Lucille with such profound depth, I could not imagine how anyone could not relating to the humanity of your music.
The thrill you gave is gone but we will always remember you as the master of the blues. Thank you for your presence and all the joy you gave us with your music.
Rest in Peace, BB King, Majesty of the Blues.
