Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  (CNN) Ko te pakiwaitara o te puoro, ko B.B. King, i whakahaeretia ki te hōhipera mō te mate wai, ahakoa kāore i roa te wā i noho ai ia ki waho. Ko te mate huka o King i takea e tana mate huka Momo II, engari "he pai ake ia", i kii tana tamahine, a Claudette King, ki te Los Angeles Times. I tukuna e te kaiwaiata, kaiwaiata rongonui hoki he korero e whakawhetai ana ki te hunga kua whakaputa i o raatau awangawanga. "Kei te pai ake taku ahua me te wehe atu i te hohipera i tenei ra", i kii a King i roto i tetahi korero i te Turei. Ko Angela Moore, he kaikawe pānuitanga mō Claudette King, i kī i muri mai i taua rā, kei te hoki ia ki te kāinga e okioki ana, e koa ana ki te wā ki ana mokopuna. "I whawhai ia i mua, a he trouper ia", ka mea a Moore. "E kore ia e tuku i ana kaiwhaiwhai kia hinga". Kāore he mōhiohio atu mō te āhua o Kingi, te wāhi rānei i tāria ai ia. Ko te B.B. he kupu poto mō Blues Boy, he wāhanga o te ingoa i whakamahia e ia hei kaitākaro kōpae i Memphis, te Beale Street Blues Boy. I whakauruhia ia ki roto i te Rock and Roll Hall of Fame i te 1987, a 30 nga tohu Grammy. Kua whakamahia e Kingi, 89, ngā tauira rerekē o ngā kitara Gibson i roto i ngā tau, ā, i tapaina ia o rātou ko Lucille. I nga tau 1980, ka tukuna e Gibson te nama tauira i runga i te kita i whakamahia e ia i te wa whakamutunga me te nuinga. I riro hei tauira waitohu i whakaritea, ko Lucille te ingoa, i hangaia mo te "Kingi o te Blues". Ko etahi o ana hit ko "The Thrill Is Gone", i riro i a ia tana Grammy tuatahi i te tau 1970, "Me pai ake te ao i tetahi waahi" me "When Love Comes to Town", he mahi tahi me U2. I te tau kua hipa, i mate te kaiwaiata puoro i te mate wai me te ngoikore i muri i tana whakaaturanga i Chicago, i akiaki ia ki te whakakore i te toenga o tana haerenga. Ko Greg Botelho me Sonya Hamasaki o CNN i whai wāhi ki tēnei pūrongo.
