B.B. King's Challenge to Jimi Hendrix — Then He Did THIS

B.B. King STOPPED His Concert, Pointed at Jimi Hendrix and Said THIS — 3,000 People Went SILENT 🎸 THE STORY: March 1967, Apollo Theater, Harlem. B.B. King was headlining one of the Apollo's legendary blues nights. At 41, he was already a blues institution, famous for making a single note on his Gibson Lucille carry more emotion than most guitarists could squeeze from an entire solo. Jimi Hendrix was in the audience, having just returned from England where he'd become a sensation. But in Harlem, in Black America, Jimi was still relatively unknown—and his loud, distorted, effects-heavy approach was making blues purists uncomfortable. Mid-concert, B.B. stopped playing. Someone had told him Jimi was in the crowd. He called him out publicly: "I hear you play about a thousand notes where I play one. Can your thousand notes say what my one note says?" Then B.B. invited Jimi on stage. In front of 3,000 people, the master challenged the revolutionary. B.B. played one note—bent it, held it, made it cry. It was a masterclass in blues economy. Then Jimi played. He started simple, but built something extraordinary—complex, yes, but every note serving the story. It wasn't showing off. It was truth told in a different dialect. When Jimi finished, the Apollo went silent. Then B.B. King did something nobody expected: he bowed to Jimi Hendrix. "You're not showing off," B.B. told him in front of everyone. "You're using those notes to say something. That's the difference."
