He's the original artist of "I'll Take Care Of You" then Gil Scott-Herron made his own version and changed the beat, then Drake's producer jamie used that version.
believe it or not but we are FAMILy ... my great grandmother that just pasted in Sept of 2011 and BOBBY are 1st Cousins ... ( talent runs in our BLOOD!! ...|
@itsonlyelliot drake used Gil Scott Heron's version which was remixed in collaboration with UK producer JamieXX (search Gil scott, Jamie xx "take care"). it sounds quite amazing.
Bobby Bland - one of the all time great blues and soul singers. I love this cut, it is so haunting with the organ perfectly complementing Bobby's plaintive voice.
I used to go see Bobby Bland & the Whispers where the first act then the main attraction Bobby...at the Sportmans 2 in Oakland Calif in the 60's. Sportman 1 was on Divisadaro in SF. I was with Fillmore Slim then..
A great haunting blues that was used in a series called Crime Story which featured Alfred Molina as Ian Spiro screened on UK TV in the fall of 1993. His acting is some of the best portrail of utter hopelessness I have ever seen. Honker
Those who have never heard Bobby Bland have missed out on one of the best, his voice is impossible to describe without lapsing into seeming contradictions. For example, it's both smooth as silk and rough as sandpaper. It must be heard. Equally impressive, Bland always seem to have a deeply intuitive understanding of the songs he sings. (In a sane world, everyone would know Bobby Bland and his work.) ~peace
REAL MUSIC FOR REAL PEOPLE. INDEED MY MAN. INDEED Got lost in Never Nerver Land for a few years, but I'm back thanks too you and that awesome sound of yours. Bless you Bobby. Bless you.
About ten years ago I saw Mr.Bland in Concert in DC, and these 70 years old ladys were acting just like little teenage girls everytime I think about it. It brings a big smile to my face. this guy is such a Giant. Jerry The Bama Washington who in my opinion is the greatest Radio Personality I've ever come across. He used to do a show in DC called the Bama Hour on 89.3 WPFW was Bobby's biggest fan and that is how I became a Bobby Blue Bland Fan. The Bama died years ago. But Bob was his main man
THIS MAN IS THE GREATEST BLUES PLAYER EVER AND HE HAS BEEN IN MY LIFE FROM A YOUNG AGE MOTHER GRANDMOTHER BIGMAMA ALL I GOT TO SAY IS YOU HAVE TOUCH MANY SOULS.
Every now & then this classic pops in my head & I have to search it out & listen to it again, ... and again, ..and again 1 more time for good measure. Truly a classic. Fantastic smooth voice, tone & presentation. Bobby Blue Bland did this song AWESOME & I don't think it gets enough credit. I used to listen to this song sometimes on ship in the Marines. Awesome. I just get mad when hacks try to copy it & re-release it as their own, & also mutilate it and don't give credit to the great BBB
Love it is not enough to say about this song. Bobby touched my soul with this when I was a young woman. He will never know what his voice and spirit did for me. I will forever love him for it.
I was introduced to this song through the cover by Mark Lanegan. It's a pretty great cover, but this original, like most music from the era, has a bit more of a haunting quality to it.
AHHHHH SWANGIT CAT!! You know this song was played on a movie soundtrak " The Nigt Man " Anyway If your Soul needs to be stirred, Flipped Twice With A Lovable Heart on the inside oozzing to get onto the outside and let Fate lead it to the one who was ment to have IT! Then Hey, this song has'nt stopped yet from doin what it was ment to do...Let it do wut it do Ladies! Be easy dmt!
What beautiful memories of this song brings back. I thought I would get a chance to hear Bobby sing this again. I just love the opportunity youtube have given us. What a song. Had all his song at one time but lost them. Thanks
Hey Mr. Warren Blue, this is so funny cause I really don't remember writing that (lol) I've never heard this song.........but i must tell you Sweetie, I have someone taking Rrrreal good care of me, me and him Love's me a lot.. (laughing) Be good and take care.......
He sent me this song. He never meant the words and that is for certain. He hurt me so much and now I have to try and take care of myself. Why? I guess it is the way he is and he is a very selfish person. I knew it, I just did not want to admit it. He used me and then turned away like turning off a light switch. I am stupid because I still care for him, so much. I hurt, he lives like there is no tomorrow. I wonder for how long?
We all have been there. Baby what goes around comes around. This was not the man for you. God had to move him out of your life to get the right person to you. Spend some time with God and he will relieve the pain. He loves you too much to see you with someone who does not deserve someone as great and wonderfull as you. Have faith.

We all have been there. Baby what goes around comes around. This was not the man for you. God had to move him out of your life to get the right person to you.
