B.B. King ~ To Know You Is To Love You

You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton

Stevie's playing keyboards on B.B.'s version. This was the 1st version I heard as my mom had this album and I heard the whole album a lot. I bought a copy for myself years later. This song has been on several compilations of B.B.'s songs too. I didn't know it was a remake until a few years ago.
