Rock me baby, honey, rock me all night long
I want you to rock me baby, like my back ain't got no bone
Roll me baby, like you roll a wagon wheel
Honey, roll me baby, like you roll a wagon wheel
Want you to roll me baby, you don't know how it make me feel
Rock me baby, honey, rock me slow
Want you to rock me baby
Till I want no more

I am just unable to pick up my jaw. That sound! How he plays it! I know he's amazing, I haven't heard a song of him I didn't love, but something about this still totally blindsided and floored me.

I remember being totally blown away the first time I saw him. It was the unique sound that he created. It was as if he was caressing his guitar strings. This video is absolutely brilliant and perfectly shows what I mean. Thank you BBK.

@Vahnchelsea
One of the blues legend. No one could replace the late Mr BB King own style of blues, especially his quarter bend, tone and vibrato playing.
