MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) - Funeral arrangements have been set for slain Memphis musician B.B. Cunningham.

Cunningham's son, Joseph Cunningham, says the viewing is scheduled for 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. at Forest Hill Funeral Home and Memorial Park in Memphis. The burial is set for 10 a.m. Friday at Forest Hill.

B.B. Cunningham spent more than 50 years in the music industry as a keyboardist, bassist, singer, songwriter and producer. He scored a hit with the 1967 song "Let It Out (Let It All Hang Out)" as a member of the Hombres. He also played in Jerry Lee Lewis' band.

Police said the 70-year-old Cunningham was working as a security guard at an apartment complex when he was fatally shot early Sunday. A 22-year-old man has been charged with murder in Cunningham's death.

Correction needed in above article: The punk that did this was not a "man", in any sense of the word....

Here's a 70 year old man working as a security guard after a stint as a memphis musician as I once was,killed by another punkass. I am sick and tired of these dam punkass teenage,20's something,30 something, pure punks getting the idea that they can just shoot,rob,kill,people while their parent,or parents are drawing a dam check because they are too freking lazy to get out and get a real job. Don't tell me there are none out there,Duh,70 year working, Hello. Shot down by punk.These people can't even get along with each other,let alone another race, and hell yes I said race,because most of these punk's are as racists,due to their parents, as any white man living and breathing. They don't care who they hurt, or kill. Watch the dam news,they kill anyone that happens to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. Bill Cosby, a great comedian ,actor and person, once said,the system does not pick on you. If you don't want to go to jail,don't steal the dam pie off the window sill. This is all a total act of dis-respect by all these dam punks. Lock them all up and throw away the key,and let them kill each other in prison.
