Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.

Gone But Not Forgotten-- Part 3: B.B. King

PERCY SLEDGE--    Died April 14.  "When a Man Loves a Woman."  The ultimate slow dancing song, but definitely not a good one for first dance at a wedding.

ANDY WHITE--  Died Nov. 9.  Replaced Ringo on drums on "Love Me Do" and "P.S. I Love You" recordings.

JACK ELY--  Died April 28.  Lead vocalist of Kingsmen on "Louie, Louie."  Kicked out of group shortly afterward.

BEN E. KING--  Died April 30  How do you get better than "Stand By Me?"

B.B. KING--  Died May 14.  "Blues Boy"  His song "The Thrill Is Gone" was my introduction to the Blues.

CHRIS SQUIRE--  Died June 28.  Member of Yes.  Only member to appear ion every album.

BUDDY BUIE  Died July 18.  Co-wrote most all of the Classic IV hits.
