Saw him in Bridge City Texas at the Big Oak club I was 10 years old a Sat. afternoon my Dad took me there on the way home from a fishing trip. I'm not sure but now that I think The Big oak was on the Louisana side of the Sabine River. First real live music I ever heard.
I saw Bobby at the Royal Peacock in Atlanta Ga. in 1967 and nothing has been the same since. No one comes close to his crooning and styling in R&B music. Long live Bobby Bland the Lion of the Blues---Thad
I had head this before. But I played this about a week after toatling my Mazda 6S 2003 (DUI) I hadn't shed a tear before this. I handn't had the car a year yet....I wept LIke a baby.
That's good music not ths shit of nowadays, bobby blue bland is one of the masters of blues and his voice it's so terrific powerfull, i love this kind of songs, vocal power with good rythm and lyric :)
I remember this because my man was in Germany in the army and I was missing him so much that this was the only LP I played. I was in High School at the time.
His son, Roderick has been gifted as well, as a drummer..........He used to take him on stage to sit in with his drummer. My son was a year younger......used to watch him backstage sometimes......travelled everywhere. Bobby did right by his mother, Willie Mae, they got married and still are...........We both made the right choice. Miss him terribly.............
@PTSD2008 How could you say cigarettes destroyed his God given voice. This man has been blessed and I know him personally.......He acknowledges his gift as a blessing...........I'm thrilled they took your comment off of here....
I don't know this man's music, but just found out that this album cover was taken on the front steps of my grandmothers nightclub in Houston, Tx. RIP Granny!!
I saw BB Bland in New Orleans in 2004 @Essence festival. I left the main stage and went to the blues room and Bobby kicked ass. Now that's a real G.I did'nt go back to the main stage until MAZE took the stage. great times.
the man was incredible. legend has it that one time the sheriff in houston went to a show to arrest him on child support charges and they waited til show was over. who wouldn't wait
Got to sit in with Bobby at a club in Chattanooga on 9th Street in 1965. I was an acquaintance of Bobby's and Joe Scott's guitarist, the late, Wayne Bennnet from his time in L.A. I was a student and personal friend of Jimmy Nolen, probably the greatest funk guitarist of all time (James Brown and Jimmy put him on the map!). What a night that was!! I'll never forget it and after I did my two tunes, I returned to my seat and watched Wayne literally kick my ass!!
@PTSD2008 B.S. I went with BLUE for almost 4 yrs..............turned 80, Jan. 27 last year........ ex alcoholic, major coke user, cigarette smoker, beer drinker. and BLESSED to have kept his voice. Lived thru heart attack and is alive, well and still performing...............Bout' to turn 81. Love him and Rod,,,,,,,,God Bless Him and has.
This reminds me of my boy, Ronnie Dewayne Hodge. Brother I miss you. And I ask that your BLESSED and your smiling, and causing others to smiling along with you. Peace and continued BLESSING to you and your loved ones, EricSean
1961.......where was I? on 10th and California st in Long Beach CA. just met the love of my life, I was 14 and he was 16...some how he went his way, and I when my way, but now 48 years later......we back in touch, and about to get to some un-finish bisness.......we have learned there had been a lot of cring in both our lives....but the cring is over now...he's giving me his name..this is a true love story with a happy ending.
Hey did you and the love of your life go to Franklin Junior high school and Poly high school on Atlantic. I lived on 19th and California and graduated from Poly in 1961. I am willing to bet that you were Jackrabbits.
You got me.......that's me...Loretta Graves @ that time....from Frankiin to Poly, and New Hope church on the corner of Calif, and 10th st. was my church....we lived right across from it.....small world, and Big God...LOL...Oh! HERE COME POLY DOWN THE FIELD, ROLLING LIKE A WAGON WHEEL. HERE COME WILSON IN THE DUSK, HEY HEY WILSON TAKE A LOOK AT US...LOL...SO TELL ME MORE ABOUT YOU???
I remember my sister and me listening to "Randy's Record Shop" and "Ernie's Record Shop" on WLAC in Nashville at night (when we weren't listening to WNOE in New Orleans) and hearing the really great blues of the '50's and early 60's. Cry, Cry, Cry was just about the very best. Does anyone remember Randy's Record Shop's theme song, "The Original Honeydripper," by Joe Liggins?
10 records for $3.99. transistor radio in the window with the coat hanger in it propped up on the window screen. "If you don't cut that mess off, its mite near 12:00 in the morning"! "But mama, I gotta listen to Hossman and JR" cause WAOK in Atlanta, GA, 1380 on the dial" had gone off for the night! (LOL)
