He did not sing a whole lot. He played a lot of guitar solos though. Loved every minute of the show! Had never seen him live before. Truly a once in a lifetime memory. You can tell by his actions and the way he played, the music is his heart and soul. For a man of his age, he can still jam and wail on that guitar! !!!

Über B.B. King
Riley B. King aka B. B. King (born September 16, 1925) is a well known American blues guitarist and songwriter. He is among the most respected electric guitarists.
One of King's trademarks is naming his guitar (Gibson ES335) "Lucille". In the 1950s in a bar in Twist, Arkansas two men got into a fight, accidentally knocking over a bucket of burning kerosene (used for heat) and lighting the establishment on fire. Risking his life, B.B. King ran back into the collapsing building to retrieve his guitar. King later found out that the two men had been fighting over a woman named Lucille. He named his guitar after her to remind himself never to do something so stupid again.
King began broadcasting his music live on a Memphis radio station called WDIA, at first, he used the name The Peptikon Boy on air, which later was changed to The Beale Street Blues Boy, and then further shortened to just Blues Boy or B.B.
King first found success outside of the blues market with the 1969 remake of the Roy Hawkins tune, The Thrill Is Gone, which became a hit on both pop and R&B charts, a rare feat for an R&B artist to this day. King's mainstream success continued throughout the 1970s with songs like To Know You Is to Love You and I Like to Live the Love. From 1951 to 1985, King appeared on Billboard's R&B charts an amazing 74 times.
BB continues to record to this day, recording both compilations of classic songs with other top artists, new collaborative material with men like Eric Clapton
