He was one of the great singers dating back to the '60s.

Rest in peace, Percy.  :-[

Jack Ely (from The Kingsmen "Louie, Louie") passed a way a couple days ago, and today we lost Ben E. King (Stand By Me and other greats).  :(

The passing of an era.

RIP
All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

Percy Sledge, Jack Ely, and Ben E. King were music greats. The songs that made them famous will preserve their memories.

Wow, so many of the greats leaving us in 2015.   :(

Quote
B.B. King, the legendary blues singer, songwriter, and guitarist, died Thursday in Las Vegas. He was 89 years old.

Attorney Brent Bryson told The Associated Press that King died peacefully in his sleep at 9:40 p.m. local time at his home, where he had been in hospice care. Bryson added that funeral arrangements were being made.

Although King had continued to perform well into his 80s, the 15-time Grammy winner suffered from diabetes and had been in declining health during the past year. He collapsed during a concert in Chicago last October, later blaming dehydration and exhaustion.

I saw BB King live back in 1996.  It was a great concert.  RIP BB.
