Bill Gardner soared with his on-air set devoted to the late Ben E. King on Saturday afternoon on KPFK.

King died last week in New Jersey at age 76.
Rhapsody in Black has moved around through the years and is now on KPFK on Saturday afternoons from 2 to 4 p.m.

King is in the news today with health issues. Please send your well wishes and comment on any progress you may know about.On November 23, 1972, B.B. King, Joan Baez, Mimi Fariña, and others, performed at a Thanksgiving benefit concert for the prisoners of Sing Sing Prison which was made into the film entitled Sing Sing Prison Concert by documentary filmmaker David Hoffman. (Note: The title is Sing Sing Thanksgiving (1974) on IMDb.) I previously posted sisters Joan and Mimi performing "Viva Mi Patria Bolivia" from this concert. They can both be seen in the audience in this video. B.B. King later said that this was maybe the best performance he had ever given.At the request of David Hoffman, I am providing a link to the DVD: amazon.com/Sing-Prison-Concert-BB-King/dp/B00061U15C#IThinkYoureCheatingOnMeBaby #BBKing #JoanBaez #MimiFariña #SingSing #SingSingPrison #DavidHoffman
