1969 studio album by B.B. King
Completely Well , released in 1969, is a studio album by the blues guitarist B. B. King . It is notable for the inclusion of "The Thrill Is Gone ", which became a hit on both the R&B/soul and pop charts and which earned him a Grammy Award for Best Male R&B Vocal Performance in 1970.[ 1]
The album was released in the US as an LP record in 1969 and as a CD in 1987; in the UK only as an LP. San Francisco critic Ralph J. Gleason 's liner notes are mostly a profile of King, with only a passing reference to the actual music contained in King`s commercial breakthrough album.
