The body of blues musician B.B. King is taken down Beale Street Wednesday, May 27, 2015, in Memphis, Tenn. King. He was given the nickname Beale Street Blues Boy, died May 14 in Las Vegas. He was 89. There was also a tribute to B.B. King in W.C. Handy Park just off Beale Street. W.C. Handy is known as the "Father of the Blues." (AP Photo/Karen Pulfer Focht)

 

UPDATE: A mound of dirt and a wreath sits on top of the simple grave of B.B. King outside his museum in Indianola, Mississippi. The plans are to eventually turn it into a memorial garden.
