YouTube "BB King Hits"...Play the song and pick up any harp that has an "A" note on it - match the note to the tune, if it fits - blow baby blow :)

even better...
buy a ticket to his show
spend some money and get a good seat right up front
and just play along with your D harp.
should be easy to figured out if you have the right harp
heck he may just call you up to join in.

@1847 when I took my first harmonica lesson I was taught of NEVER do it, unless I wanted to get kicked so hard I could never delete the "caterpilar" mark off my ass.

@1847 I was considering doing that but when I got there I realize A. Not a would could hear me even if I tried and B. Who really would want to?

For a long time whenever I imported tunes to iTunes I added the key to the title like this: "I Got Some Outside Help I Don't Need (A)" so I could gather a bunch of songs in the same key to practice my sax. At that time I wasn't 100% reliable at getting the key right! But here are a few:
The Live at the Regal album has a few tunes in A, including "You Done Lost Your Good Thing Now" and "Worry Worry". Also "I Got Some Outside Help I Don't Need" from Blues on the Bayou.

I love BB songs in the keys he plays them in. They don't sound right to my ears if played in other keys.
Goldbrick pointed out B and C as common B.B. King song keys.
B and C are used a LOT! A and a Bb harps in third position will serve you well.
I do Thrill is gone w/ an A harp in third position (B).
