from BB's official bio:
"One night in 1954, Sam Phillips asked him to add some percussion to a recording session for a new artist who was just getting started, named Elvis Presley. From that session came the recordings, "Blue Moon of Kentucky" and "Good Rockin' Tonight"."

Maybe it was someone else as there was already a shooting before B.B. came on the scene. Maybe it was B.B. trying to defend himself only to get shot by second guy. Whatever way he tried to protect people and paid with his life.

It's very very sad that B.B. Cunningham had to die because this kind of shit, I've never been much into on the opening acts of JLL shows but B.B's performances were always very enjoyable, very talented musician and charismatic performer.
