R.I.P., B B King. Ironically, many people thought he had passed away a few weeks ago when Ben E King died. So sad for us that another magnificent talent has gone to join the heavenly blues band. I love him for saying he should retire but he needed the money. Know that feeling :(

And completely unfair that after 70 years of recording and playing he still probably made less money than manufactured nonentities like Meghan Trainor made with a single terrible song like "All About the Bass."
