B.B. King on The Blues
Season 1
Episode 26
Mr. B.B. King. The blues legend says he played 300 nights a year for four-plus decades. That's just ridiculous. We're talking about nearly 15,000 shows. King turns 90 this year and you still just might be able to see him on stage. So what's his secret? We heard some keys to living life to its fullest in a 1986 interview that had been unheard until now.
