"Jazz is the big brother of the blues. If a guy's playing blues like we play, he's in high school. When he starts playing jazz it's like going on to college, to a school of higher learning."

- B. B. King

"If my fans want to do something for me when that time comes, I say, don’t waste your money on me. Help the homeless. Help the needy... people who don’t have no food... Instead of some big funeral, where they come from here and there and all over. Save it."

- B. B. King
