2021 Biography
Someone recently placed an edit tag at the top of this article calling for citations from the 2021 biography on B.B., King of the Blues by Daniel de Vise. I read that book and found that it has no blockbuster surprises but it is very well sourced and documented. Therefore it could be used as a replacement citation (with page number) for any footnote currently in the article that might be considered unreliable. However, I don't think it is necessary to add citations from the book as if that would make this article better, because most statements are solidly supported already. (In other words, it would be unfruitful busywork.) So I am removing the edit tag, though I strongly recommend that book for B.B. fans and historians. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 15:47, 24 April 2022 (UTC)
If you look at different Misplaced Pages language versions of this article, his years as active is listed differently on different Misplaced Pages languagues. In this article it says his first year as active was 1942. In the article I find only info of him being active first in 1943. It would be nice with clear info and source why he is written as first active in 1942. This could then also be used on other B.B. King articles on different languages of Misplaced Pages.
