That time I asked B.B. King who his “King of the Blues” would be

By Steve Newton

Way back in 1984 I did my first interview with B.B. King when he was playing a string of shows at the Plazazz Showroom in North Vancouver.

Man, was he ever a nice guy.

Here he is talking about what it’s like to carry the title of King of the Blues, and who would be his King if he had to choose one.

Have a listen. (You may need to crank the volume up a bit.)
