A portion of proceeds from The Thrill Is Gone: A Tribute To B.B. King will benefit the Seva Foundation, a global nonprofit eye care organization that transforms lives and strengthens communities by restoring sight and preventing blindness. The SEVA Foundation was co-founded by Wavy Gravy, a close friend of B.B. King, for over 40 years and whose moniker was given to him by King at the Texas International Pop Festival in 1969.

Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Blues Hall of Fame inductee, B.B. King is one of the greatest and most influential artists of all time. Winning over 16 Grammy® Awards during his career, including a Grammy® Lifetime Achievement Award, King was also honored with The Kennedy Center Honors and the Presidential Medal of Freedom. Releasing over 44 studio albums, his hits include: “The Thrill Is Gone,” “When Love Comes To Town,” “Every Day I Have the Blues,” “3 O’Clock Blues,” and “Big Boss Man” to name a few. While B.B. will forever be known as the King of the Blues, his impact on the history of modern music across nearly all genres is immeasurable.
