Talk:The Thrill Is Gone

message: Albert King played a song named "The Feeling" where he sings "the feeling is gone". If you listen to the song you'll understand that it's a tribute to B.B Kings song.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.224.137.143 (talk) 20:01, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

message: The Article states that Peggy Lee did a cover in 2010. She has however been dead since 2002. I'm not sure when she performed the cover but the year should be changed. Elrox (talk) 16:33, 28 May 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Cover versions 

message: I'm a bit confused about the songwriters. This article names Rick Darnell and Roy Hawkins, even though the image of the record clearly shows Arthur Benson and Dale Petite. I've seen other versions of the record that also name Arthur Benson and Dale Petite as the songwriters. I don't want to edit the article myself because I'm not entirely sure, although the 33s are pretty strong evidence to go with what's written on them. Also, I haven't seen any evidence of aliases being used. If someone has definitive knowledge, please step forward.HowlinMadMan (talk) 14:08, 15 March 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: Good eyesight. The original King releases list Benson and Petite, although reissues, compilations, etc., credit Darnell and Hawkins. Hawkins' AllMusic bio includes "When B.B. King blasted up the charts in 1970 with Roy Hawkins's classic "The Thrill Is Gone," the tune was mistakenly credited to the wrong composers on early pressings." BMI Work # 1509407 lists the songwriter/composer as "DARNELL RICK RAVON... HAWKINS ROY". Credits for albums and singles are sometimes wrong and should be checked against other reliable sources. —Ojorojo (talk) 14:58, 15 March 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks for responding so quickly. I'd actually continued my own research and found the following on this site: https://blues.org/blues_hof_inductee/the-thrill-is-gone-b-b-king-abc-bluesway-1969/. "Writers’ credits on the first B.B. releases went to Arthur H. Benson and Dale Pettite, but are now filed under Hawkins and Rick Darnell." So I'm clear on that now, but I think maybe a note should be added to the BB King section of the article to keep this discussion from popping up from time to time? I can do that if no one objects.HowlinMadMan (talk) 15:25, 15 March 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: The Blues Foundation is a good source and should be included in the article. But the point doesn't need to be be overemphasizednow, it's more of an artifact. Maybe add as a footnote after the songwriter credit. —Ojorojo (talk) 15:56, 15 March 2020 (UTC)

thread_title: Songwriters

message: It's a bit odd that her template & category appear underneath this article, but the article itself makes no mention of her version at all... even if it was apparently a single, which isn't insignificant. Jules TH 16 (talk) 18:31, 13 June 2021 (UTC)
