Clock Quote by B. B. King

“Blues purists never cared for me. I don't worry about…” quote by B. B. King — Download Open image

“Blues purists never cared for me. I don't worry about it. I think if it this way: When I made 'Three O' Clock Blues,' they were not there. The people out there made the tune. And blues purists just wrote about it. The people is who I'm trying to satisfy.”
