Title: Riding with the King - B.B. King & Eric Clapton
Description: I dreamed I did a good job and I got well paid
Blew it all at the penny arcade
A hundred dollars on a kewpie doll
I guess no white chick is gonna make me crawl
On a TWA, to the promised land
Every woman, child and man
Gets a cadillac and a diamond ring
Dont you know we're riding with the king?
Hes on a mission of mercy to the new frontier
Hes gonna check us all on out of here
Up to that mansion on a hill
Where you can get your prescription filled
On a TWA to the promised land
Everybody come on and clap your hands
Dont you just love the way he sings
Dont you know we're riding with the king?
A red cape and shiny cold 45
I never saw his face but I saw the light
Tonight everybody's getting their angel wings
Dont you know we're riding with the king?
Well I stepped out of a mirror at ten years old
With a suit cut sharp, as a razor and a heart of gold
I had a guitar hanging just about waist high
I'm gonna play that thing until the day I die

Title: Atlanta Artist Corey Barksdale BB King Sketch/Speed Drawing
Description: Atlanta artist Corey Barksdale has created a drawing/sketch video about the life of famous Blues musician BB King. At the beginning of the video Corey Barksdale sketches a portrait of BB King using a ball point pen and sharpie marker.
As a painter, Corey Barksdale explores the artistic landscape inspired by the music of jazz greats like Miles Davis, John Coltrane and Charlie Parker. The result is a stunning collection of paintings that celebrate the jazz experience.
Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) February 5, 2005 -- As a painter, Corey Barksdale's work is continually inspired by jazz. "It frees me to do what I feel when I'm painting," Barksdale says. When he's in the studio creating, he often listens to jazz greats like Charlie Parker, Miles Davis and John Coltrane. The result is a stunning collection of more than 30 paintings that celebrate the jazz experience.
B. B. King arrived in Memphis for the first time in 1946 to work as a musician, but after a few months of hardship he left, going back to Mississippi. There he decided to prepare himself better for the next visit and returned to Memphis two years later. Initially he worked at the local R&B radio channel WDIA as a singer. In 1949, he began recording songs under contract with Los Angeles-based RPM Records. Many of King's early recordings were produced by Sam Phillips, who later founded Sun Records. King was also a disc jockey in Memphis, where he gained the nickname "Beale Street Blues Boy", later shortened to "B. B." Before his RPM contract, B. B. had debuted on Bullet Records by issuing the single "Miss Martha King" (1949), which got a bad review in Billboard magazine and did not chart well.
In the 1950s, B. B. King became one of the most important names in R&B music, amassing an impressive list of hits including "You Know I Love You," "Woke Up This Morning," "Please Love Me," "When My Heart Beats like a Hammer," "Whole Lotta Love," "You Upset Me Baby," "Every Day I Have the Blues," "Sneakin' Around," "Ten Long Years," "Bad Luck," "Sweet Little Angel," "On My Word of Honor," and "Please Accept My Love." In 1962,B.B. King signed to ABC-Paramount Records, which was later absorbed into MCA Records, and then his current label, Geffen Records.
In November 1964, King recorded the Live at the Regal album at the Regal Theater in Chicago, Illinois.

King's first success outside the blues market was his 1969 remake of Roy Hawkins' tune "The Thrill Is Gone." King's version became a hit on both pop and R&B charts, which was rare for an R&B artist. It also gained the number 193 spot in Rolling Stone's Top 500 Songs Of All Time. He gained further rock visibility as an opening act on The Rolling Stones much-ballyhooed 1969 American Tour. King's mainstream success continued throughout the 1970s with songs like "To Know You Is to Love You" and "I Like to Live the Love."
[edit] Going mainstream
The 1980s, 1990s and 2000s saw King recording less and less. Yet throughout this time he maintained a highly visible and active career, appearing on numerous television shows and performing 300 nights a year. In 1988 King reached a new generation of fans with the single "When Love Comes To Town," a collaborative effort between King and the Irish band U2 (on their Rattle and Hum album). In 2000, King teamed up with guitarist Eric Clapton to record Riding With the King. In 1998 B. B. King appeared in "The Blues Brothers 2000" playing the part of the lead singer of the Louisiana Gator Boys, along with Eric Clapton, Dr. John, Koko Taylor, and Bo Diddley.
In 2003, King shared the stage with the rock band Phish in New Jersey, performing three of his classics and jamming with the band for over 30 minutes.
In June 2006, King was present at a memorialization of his first radio broadcast at the Three Deuces Building in Greenwood, Mississippi, where an official marker of the Mississippi Blues Trail was erected.Blues Artist, Blues Musician, Blues Music.

Title: Eric Clapton - Blues leave me alone
Description: ** I AM NOT AFFILIATED WITH ERIC CLAPTON WHAT SO EVER. JUST A FAN PAYING TRIBUTE. I DO NOT MAKE PROFIT FROM THIS VIDEO. I HOPE YOU ENJOY IT **
From the Cradle" is an album that some Eric Clapton fans had been waiting for years. Indeed, this is Clapton's first real Blues album. After years of flirting with Blues in his pop work, and years of guest star appearances on Bluesmen's records, Eric Clapton finally issued a Blues album of his own. "From the Cradle" was released in 1994. It contains sixteen covers of songs by legendary Bluesmen, like Leroy Carr ("Blues Before Sunrise", "How Long Blues"), Muddy Waters ("Standin' Round Crying"), and Willie Dixon ("Hoochie Coochie Man", "Groaning the Blues").
Eric Clapton is given talented support here ; harmonicist Jerry Portnoy is more than just a sidekick ; keyboards and brass erase themselves in the album (a perfect example of that would be "Someday After a While") ; and Jim Keltner is an inspired drummer. Heavy instrumental support, and no background vocals, give the album a original tone, that may unfortunately be considered as overloaded on some songs ("Groaning the Blues", for instance). Some other songs, however, are softly interpreted, like "Driftin'", and "Third Degree".
It seems like Eric Clapton wanted to prove his talent as a Bluesman, by challenging himself in playing songs of some of the greatest Blues legends ever. There is no doubt about his skills, the man can play the Blues. Still, this is Eric Clapton we're talking about - "From the Cradle" is often filed under "Pop" in record stores
LYRICS BY JAMES A LANE / PERFORMED BY ERIC CLAPTON ON FROM THE CRADLE
Blues, blues trying to drive me away from home.
Blues, blues trying to drive me away from home.
Had the blues so bad, blues followed me all day long.
Blues, blues won't let me take my rest.
Blues, blues won't let me take my rest.
My mind is rambling like a wild geese out in the west.
Well, you're my all day steady, baby you're my midnight dream.
Yes, you're my all day steady, baby you're my midnight dream.
I love that woman better than anyone I've ever seen.
Blues, blues follow me all day long.
Blues, blues follow me all day long.
Blues, blues won't you please leave me alone.
