Amen, MNHawk.
I saw BB several times, got to meet him in the Green Room once, he was a very nice man, very respectful and polite. He had a unique sound, the hard-plucking of strings...lots of good songs,
this site lists 485, not sure if that is all of them or not, but I recognize a lot of 'em, he had his staples he played at most every concert ("The Thrill is Gone" always) but most people probably only will know him by his collaborations with Eric Clapton, U2, Van Morrison and Willie Nelson, but even a little exposure is a good thing. I always liked his version of "Stormy Monday", he toured a lot and enjoyed it and the people he met. Truly the passing of a legend.
R.I.P. BB
