Austin City Limits

S08E05 B.B. King

Terry Lickona, executive producer of Austin City Limits, remembered B.B. King as the worldwide face of blues—a larger-than-life figure who remained gentle, kind, and big-hearted. Lickona called King's ACL performance one of his personal favorites and recalled his pride when King slipped "Austin City Limits" into the lyrics of his classic take on Willie Nelson's "Night Life." Lickona closed by saying, "We've lost a giant."
