Even though I never got into his music, his stuff I always heard in passing like on TV or in movies, I could see how he impacted everything not just jazz or R&B or Hip Hop, but Clapton and country, rock and heavy metal.
One thing I hate about laypeople and music, they don't understand no matter the type of music, those who get to the top do not have mono chromatic tastes. If you have a favorite type of music, odds are BB King had an impact on your favorite music, even if not directly.
