B.B. King : That was my previous producer Bill Szymczyk's idea (to have Carole King and leon Russell on the sessions), but he did ask me if I would like to have them. I already knew of Carole King and I knew Leon Russell when he played with Joe Cocker. At that time we were looking for a follow-up to The Thrill Is Gone' . . . I'd heard Hummingbird, but didn't see how I could do it. So Leon came out and played it for me on the session. I learned so much from him; that guy is really out of sight.
