In this post however, I am featuring B.B. King's iconic Lucille guitar and song in its namesake.
History behind the Lucille -
In the winter of 1949, B.B. King played at a venue in Arkansas. In the middle of the floor sat a barrel half-filled with burning kerosene to keep warm. At some point, two men began to argue and fight, knocking over the barrel and causing a fire and evacuation. King ran back inside to retrieve his "beloved $30 Gibson guitar." The reason behind the argument, as King came to learn, was over a woman named Lucille who worked at the venue. Lucille inspired B.B. King - he named every guitar he owned - at the time and so on - "Lucille" as a reminder to never run into a burning building or fight over a woman.
