de-music:
B. B King has been consistent with his style in his recordings for over 50 years, unintentionally establishing his style as the Blues Sound, as others have imitated him. Some of his early tunes such as "The Thrill is Gone" and "A Bad Case of Love" are recognized as Blues classics by most critics, is still played frequently by new artists. "Iíll Survive", considered by B. B. to be his favorite on the CD, an early recording, changed very little on the new CD.
