Sometime in the late 60's or early 70's I went to see Bobby Bland at the reopened Coconut Grove in L.A. What a show. I was standing toward the back thinking I was the only white boy in the building when I hear this "Hey Man" I turn around and who wakled up new to me , none other than Hollywood Fats. We talked a bit then stood there with our jaws on the ground watching Bobby and Wayne Bennett tear the roof off, and this was one of the highlite songs.

What a fantastic vocal, and what a brilliant line-up of soulful musicians. Bobby is the boss of this type of old-school R 'n' B. Rod Stewart absolutely knew this 1973 album and plundered it for "It's Not The Spotlight". Stick to the original and best!

[turaun]

please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! can anyone tell me where i can find" we never danced to a love song, by bobby" blue" bland

[Gchord86]

when real music is real

[davesk2]

The song was first recorded by 'St Louis Jimmy' Oden in 1941.

Just to clear up inaccuracies: Howlin' Wolf's version was first issued in 1962 and it wasn't until the late 1960s that he had his first heart attack.; in 1970 he sustained injury to his kidneys in a car crash; he died in 1976 from kidney disease.

[mrbaloo66]

this when music was music

[bassman6342]

Aspiring singers need to listen to the patience in his style.

This is what stirs the souls of musicians.

[berncj]

Mel Brown you are missed my friend.

[1947lindac]

wonderful memories of my father and his best friend poppa daddy and nappy

[cathysfiddle]

Who were these terrific musicians?

[slowmo4me]

I was lucky enough to know Mel and his brother James(out of Oakland). Mel was so special, he did not get the credit he deserved for his many talents.Right after the California album, he was backing up Waylon and Willie and of course Ray C.

[slowmo4me]

@slowmo4me RIP MB, I'll look for you on the night shift.

[sparks199]

@slowmo4me Who is Mel/.

[slowmo4me]

@sparks199 Bobby's lead guitar...they were always on tour, a guy named Fog was the roadie and bus driver. Mel Brown also had albums of his own, his brother James out of oakland, ca. was keyboard. Mel Brown, RIP, the world is a little darker without you.

[RoyalUndisputed]

that's one funk as tune

[parkkrr]

listen to the guitar crying....... then the organ,just runs........thats hott stuffff

[slowmo4me]

@parkkrr That is Mel Brown, that guy could make his Gi Tar cry just looking at it.

[berncj]

@slowmo4me That is indeed Mel Brown (RIP) on guitar. Mel knew the blues was a beautiful thing and you can hear it in every tune he plays.

[mrmultipleorgasms]

this time im gone for good, going down slow, take off your shoes, aint no sunshine when she's gone all those are fire!!!!

[lvnaftrmdnte]

All these versions of this song on YouTube...not one of them is Howlin' Wolf!

[mannish72]

This song was on a Soul Train compilation album I bought a few years back. When I first heard it, I immediately thought how HOT it was! The man stated that he "...had (his) fun, if I don't get well no more." And I felt that. Been looking for someone to post this on here for a couple of years now. Thanks a lot, TRW!!

[LongLiveTheBlues]

@mannish72 this isnt actually bobbys song tho , im not sure who it originally is , this is a amazing version but i prefer howlin wolfs version because with him u really feel the blues he is actually "goin down slow" as he was slowly dieng when he recorded it i suggest u listen to that.

[howlingsandy]

@LongLiveTheBlues more poignant yet my great friend Wolf's versions (there's been several) as when on his death bed, his deranged cold-hearted religious-zealot mother (who'd kicked him out of the home at age 9) would not come up though offered any form of transportion including a limo. Then again, Wolf had a gift and talent, a genuine force to get things he felt so deeply ,shared ©Sandy Guy Schoenfeld
