NASHVILLE, Tenn. – It was a bittersweet night Wednesday for Shirley King, singer and daughter of the late B.B. King.

Shirley performed around 10:30 p.m. at BB King's Blues Club.

Meanwhile, in Memphis, a street sign was unveiled renaming a busy city street after the late bluesman, who passed away in May.

Third Street, a key Memphis thoroughfare, is now known as B.B. King Boulevard.
