King (September 16, 1925 – May 14, 2015), known by his stage name B.B. King, was an American blues singer, songwriter, and guitarist. Rolling Stone ranked King number 6 on its 2011 list of the 100 greatest guitarists of all time. King introduced a sophisticated style of soloing based on fluid string bending and shimmering vibrato that influenced many later electric blues guitarists. King was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1987 and is considered one of the most influential blues musicians of all time, earning the nickname "The King of the Blues", and one of the "Three Kings of the Blues Guitar" along with Albert and Freddie. King was known for performing tirelessly throughout his musical career, appearing at more than 200 concerts per year on average into his 70s. In 1956, he reportedly appeared at 342 shows. King died at the age of 89 in Las Vegas, Nevada on May 14, 2015. R.I.P. B.B. King 20th Century Masters - The Millennium Collection - The Best Of B.B. King  Release Date: March 23, 1999 Duration: 43:30 Genre: Blues, R&B Styles: Modern Electric Blues, Soul-Blues, Early R&B, Memphis Blues, Regional Blues Like any record company worth their salt, MCA knows a good gimmick when they see it, and when the millennium came around -- well, the 20th Century Masters -- The Millennium Collection wasn't too far behind. Supposedly, the millennium is a momentous occasion, but it's hard to feel that way when it's used as another excuse to turn out a budget-line series. But apart from the presumptuous title, 20th Century Masters -- The Millennium Collection turns out to be a very good budget-line series. True, it's impossible for any of these brief collections to be definitive, but they're nevertheless solid samplers that don't feature a bad song in the bunch. For example, take B.B. King's 20th Century volume -- it's an irresistible ten-song summary of his MCA recordings. There may be a couple of noteworthy songs missing, but many of his best-known songs for the label are here, including "The Thrill Is Gone," "Ain't Nobody Home," "Let the Good Times Roll," "Don't Answer the Door," "Sweet Sixteen," and "Paying the Cost to Be the Boss." Serious fans will want something more extensive, but this is an excellent introduction for neophytes and a great sampler for casual fans, considering its length and price. That doesn't erase the ridiculousness of the series title, but the silliness is excusable when the music and the collections are good.  1 The Thrill Is Gone 5:27 2 Ain't Nobody Home 3:17 3 Let the Good Times Roll 5:32 4 Guess Who 4:09 5 I Like to Live the Love 3:32 6 Don't Answer the Door 5:12 7 Sweet Sixteen 6:13 8 Paying the Cost to Be the Boss 2:35 9 I Got Some Help I Don't Need 3:26 10 Into the Night 4:10   ENJOY!
