B.B. King talks about Elvis Presley.

When Jerry Reed met Elvis in person he was stunned by his looks and his presence. He told Elvis "don't take this the wrong way but you're just about the prettiest thing I've ever seen". LOL!

My folks saw B.B. King perform a few years before he passed. King said something at that show that really emphasizes why we love performers. He said “the world isnt perfect & its chaotic. But lets forget about that for a few hours” and he played. Infinite respect for the man.

A legend complementing another legend. This talks volumes of both artists!

To all the people that say Elvis stole black music, BB King just said Elvis didn't impress him until he started doing his own thing. Elvis may have been inspired by gospel music and the blues, like a lot of people in the 50s and 60s, but he definitely had his own sound

And we still Talk about elvis.this man was out of this world

BB and Elivis are pure American legends! God bless the USA 🇺🇸

BB King was a musical genius and a gentlemen. His music was a gift to all and will always be remembered. RIP Mr. King. Thank you for all your wonderful music!

"He had everything...." is what the great B.B. KIng said twice on Charlie's show. What other endorsement does Elvis need after that? Damn...what a sentence by one of the greats.

[VinnyDrysdale]

When B.B. King says he had everything, that's all you need to know.

[Harp_and_Guitar_Moving_Forward]

From what I've seen B.B. was super humble. Great comments too

[texastank]

Mad respect for BB. One of the great blues men! How awesome would that have been? Walk into Sun in 1954 -55 and see BB, Elvis, Ike Turner, Perkins, Jerry Lee and Cash among others. Good Lord. Absolute legends before they were huge. Would have loved to be a fly on the wall.

[everly-shadystudios]

Elvis had to look that women loved and men feared...there will never be another Elvis Presley

[Pulsonar]

I’ve never heard a legend like BB king praise another legend with so few words. He even paused to search for words more than ‘he had everything’ and realised there aren’t any. He had the greatest of respect for Elvis.

[elvispresleydaily]

It’s really interesting hearing BB compliment his playing twice.

[mendezantonio]

Elvis didnt steal nobodys style he had his own style might of been influenced by other genres but he had his own swag

[Sheerkat]

High praise coming from BB. Glad he mentioned that Elvis started in Rockabilly. Saw BB in concert in Denver years ago. Amazing show. RIP big man.

[cjdayne]

BB King had it all as well. True legend in every way. Rest In Peace sir

[jettstap]

BB King was ultimate professional and developed his talent to legend status - above all BB King was a true gentleman

[buzzbuzzerson]

Gotta love B.B. He was a down to earth, great human being.

[EBUNNY]

I have a lot of respect for B. B. King not ripping Elvis since many do out of pure envy.
King showed a lot of class toward the King.
