BB King may be gone from this world, but his music sill drew cheers as the industry's best and brightest gathered for the Grammys.

Country star Chris Stapleton partnered with guitarists Gary Clark Jr. and Bonnie Raitt to pay homage to the blues legend with the King classic "The Thrill Is Gone."

Nominated for 21 Grammys across his career, King left a winner 15 times as he racked up the votes for everything from Best Traditional Blues Album to Best Pop Instrumental Performance. King will never take the Grammy stage again, but that doesn't mean Stapleton and Co. can't bring a little of his magic back into music's biggest night.
