Title: BB KING (Tribute)Asylanten-docmidnight-gbm-mimmo
Post by: Mimmo on July 20, 2015, 03:51:34 PM: This is a tribute to the great Blues artist BB King who past away a few months back.

I'm very happy to bring the song to the final steps. Special thanks to Gary and Henry for their help in completing the song.
I was happy to have Gerald record the vocals on a second version

Alberto Villa: Drums.
Gary B Miller: B3 Organ.
Henry Mittnacht: Guitars, Bass and Piano.
Domenic Mercurio: Music, Lyrics, Vocals, Mix and Master.
Gerald Casey: Vocals 2nd Version

BB King
The blues has lost it's best
Showbiz has lost a King
Lucille has lost her sound
But the THRILL will always rebound
You'll be missed you BB King
But forever in our hearts you'll sing

The people lined the street
To see BB king one last time
Beale Street was all in mourning.
For the day they said goodbye,
Came so unexpectedly
For friends, fans and family

You wowed your fans for so long
You had the best of company
Big stars loved making music with you
And Lucille, always there in your hands (by your side)
Now that THRILL has left home...(has gone)
You will be missed, now that you're gone

The people lined the street
To see BB king one last time
Beale Street was all in mourning.
For the day they said goodbye,
Came so unexpectedly
For friends, fans and family

piano-guitar solo

The people lined the street
to see BB king one last time
Beale Street was all in mourning.
For the day they said, they said goodbye,

your name in lights will be forever
Lucille will miss your touch

So long for now people will say
You will be missed BB King

Post by: docmidnite on July 26, 2015, 06:52:56 AM: Yes, this was a blast doing it!
Of course I had to use my 335 custom that looks pretty similar to Lucille!
I don´t have a pic of the guitar, though...
