I've read the writers wanted BB King for Image in the Sand

He was gonna be a holographic character from a blue's lounge in Memphis around 1970. Worf would soothe is aching heart by listening to BB croon....."The Trill is Gone"

If the writers ever entertained this particular notion, they were probably just joking around and weren't entirely serious about it. Hey, I'm sure that television writers shoot all sorts of silly ideas back and forth with each other during writing sessions!
