B.B. King - Sweet Little Angel download song

I love BB King's philosophy on playing the guitar. He does not attempt to overwhelm his audience with a ton of notes, but instead picks the melodies and licks he wants to use extremely carefully and with "soul". Through his guitar, perhaps, we were allowed to glimpse into his personality.

Story: I was in the library at my school and I clicked on this video. I wasn't aware that my headphones weren't plugged in. Mr. BB and Lucille shook the walls. Embarrassed, i plugged in my headphones and turned toward my books. Not even ten seconds later, some young kid came up to me and said "Excuse me, Who is That?!" Needless to say, I was more than happy to share! THE BLUES LIVES ON! ALL IS NOT LOST!

at 3:00 The perfect note.

I've got a sweet little angel I love the way she spreads her wings Yes, got a sweet little angel I love the way she spread her wings Yes, when she spreads her wings around me I get so hot and everything You know, I ask my baby for a nickel And she gave me a twenty-dollar bill Oh yes, I asked my baby for a nickel And she gave me a twenty-dollar bill Well, you know I ask her for a little drink of liquer And she gave me a whiskey still Oh yeah, if my baby quit me Lord, I do believe I would die Oh yeah, if my baby should quit me Lord, I do believe I would die Lord, if you don't love me, little angel Please tell me the reason why

Many people under estimate the impact of the backing band. BB King always had a killer band. Makes a big difference.

Lyrics I've got a sweet little angel I love the way she spreads her wings Yes, got a sweet little angel I love the way she spread her wings Yes, when she spreads her wings around me, people I get so hot and everything You know, I ask my baby for a nickel And she gave me a twenty-dollar bill Oh yes, I asked my baby for a nickel And she gave me a twenty-dollar bill Well, you know I ask her for a little drink of liquer And she gave me a whiskey still Oh yeah, if my baby quit me Lord, I do believe I would die Oh yeah, if my baby should quit me Lord, I do believe I would die Lord, if you don't love me, little angel Please tell me the reason why

I love how his whole hand shook when he bent a note. RIP King of the blues

Blues player here. Yes, we involuntary make faces like that.

For the first few minutes, I thought whats the big deal? Other players have had better tone. But then a subtle turn of the volume knob at 3:00 changes EVERYTHING... I used to read that BB could say a lot more with one note than other players could say in a thousand and they ain't kidding. Now I've witnessed it.

i like how the one man keeps saying "yeah" and "yes" all the time

When you think the guitar part is enough to make him a legend, He starts singing and you just can't believe your ears. Rest in Peace King!

Everyone's talking about the well sustained note at 3:00 but I'm more gripped by that gorgeous turnaround lick at 0:55. Golly gosh goodness wow, I want that lick

Its interesting to see BB playing a ES-345 'Lucille' with a trapeze style tailpiece(at the beginning). Also unusual to see BB express exasperation with Lucille at around 1:39, she's clearly not wanting to stay in tune throughout the entire song. But that note at around 3:00 though...have mercy.

I love the faces he makes. He's feeling our feelings for us.

Love how he handles the bad note he played at 0:48. "If you make a mistake, just make sure to make the same mistake twice and people will think it was intentionally".

I've been playing for over 30 years and I'm still humbled everytime I hear BB play. Anyone can play a blues scale but how many people can make you cry with one note?

I don't think anyone ever has had more control of volume than BB. He can do swells without the knob!
