President Barack Obama and Bill Clinton paid tribute to late Blues legend B.B. King at his Mississippi Funeral.
Democratic U.S. Rep. Bennie Thompson of Mississippi, a friend of King, read out a letter from Obama, which stated that "For those of us here in Indianola and around the world, B.B. King is a legend, an icon, a musical giant, a world class entertainer", E! Online reported.
On the other hand, Clinton, in his letter, said that he was a "life-long fan" of King, starting when he was a young boy in Arkansas, listening to the 'Three O'clock Blues'.
The Grammy-winning blues legend died on May 15 at age 89 after suffering strokes, complications of his Type 2 diabetes.
