Welcome again to Podcasting Blues. I am your host, Scale Nobles. I
want to talk about the sound of B. B. King from the nineteen
fifties, a much different sounding style of blues than when he was singing.
The thrill is gone from the nineteen seventies. Alan Freed would play BB King's
music. Okay, here's that great blues boy. BB King's latest off on
record, Lonely and the music would go due. B B. King's song
Lonely in Blue reminds me of a song that Fats Domino would sing. Lonely
and Blue is a song that you would call a blues ballad. There's a
whole album and collection of B. B. King's singing blues ballads title B.
B. King Heart and Soul. There is a song on the album
that makes me think of the Platters. The Platters, Fats Domino and B.
B. King all were singing in the nineteen fifties. They were all
in that rock and roll era with the genres of rhythm and blues. I'm
Gale Nobles. Thank you for tuning in, and please come back again next
time for more podcast and blues.
