"Tonight I'm Gonna Make You a Star" — a blues man's most extravagant romantic promise.
Tonight I'm gonna make you a star
I'm gonna play you like my new guitar
I'll put some polish on your strings
I'll make you sing like an angel sings
Lay back and love it baby stand up and shout
'Cuz tonight you'll see what bein' a star's all about
One touch you tremble one more you'll moan
I'll show you something you've never learned at home
You'll see how good baby it all can be
I'll show you everything you need to see
I've got a feeling baby you'll go far
'Cuz tonight you'll see what bein' a star's all about
I'm gonna rock you a little while
And then we'll roll in a down-home style
If it gets funky we won't mind
We're gonna reach for whatever we can find
You're gonna play all my favorite songs
I'll show you right now where the beat belongs
Come step aboard my midnight flight
We're gonna ride babe till the mornin' light
And when the tour is at the end
We'll go back over everywhere we've been
You got the message baby now answer the call
Step into the spotlight and give it your all

- A B.B. King recording. The star-making promise — the biggest possible gift, the transformation through love — is the blues tradition at its most romantically ambitious.
