  • My grandma died when I was basic training last February and it brings great joy to my heart to listen to this song now because this song was the song her and I use to listen to all the time on tape in the car with the windows down singing our hearts out. I miss her but she's never far away. I hear this song and I can feel her singing this song with me.

  • Im 15, and i can say without a doubt, this is one of the greatest tracks ive ever heard.. So much better than the music that comes out today.. This piece is a gem, no one appreciates masterpieces like this!!

  • I'm a member

  • This has always been and will always be one of my favorite blues songs. Use to make me cry, still touches me deeply.

  • Love is Grand

  • im gonna b 14 Wednesday n I love this song....I guess it's cuz my 7uncs n mom listen to him

  • Yea this is a good song Bobby did in the 80's multi racial song from the master of the Blues Mr. Bobby Bland.

  • This was our gang song few years back in golden times . We loved to listen to it in every get together we had, every fun moment we performed. still I cherish this song everytime I hear these glamorous lyrics with Bobby Blands strong voice. Long Live ''Members''

  • My dad passed 2years ago and whenever I want to feel him I can play songs that he loved. This reminds me of riding in his car with him playing his blues.

  • Thank my dear for making my day! Love it!

  • I love this song because its where Iam now

  • LOVVVEE ITTTTT

  • dakidstreetz that's exactly what my family used to do lol. Good times.

  • I'm 26 and my aunts and uncles used to play this. I loved this song. I make my kids listen to it now, instead of this nonsense they call music now. Real meaning about life. It just reminds me of the good days when the family got together and had a good time with no worries and no problems. I miss those days.

  • @sweetpeach84 I agree with you, this song remind of the good days of my family gatherings.This song have real meaning i love it lol

  • No longer a member.

  • This is one of the songs that made me fall in love with the Blues. Thanks for posting!!!

  • 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

  • The first few times I listened to this song it was incredibly sad to me. I was like I understand completely. Then a few weeks ago I put Jesus there instead of a man. I imagined Jesus saying this to me and it was more like a love song to me. Instead of a bunch of depressed people getting together it changed to Jesus comforting me. It was like he was saying, "It's alright here let me hold you."

    The Lost I imagined lost/members of family and friends who have died. Jesus is holding me. Rocking me.

  • Ironic. The guy who broke my heart gave me the cd with this song on it. I still love him. I'm a member.

  • This song just floods my memory with images of my home boys and girls from the 70s who are now dead and gone.....i love this song but at the sametime it makes me sad and lonley for my homeboys/girls. I never knew until now that i loved them as much as i do. We had so much fun in Newark,NJ just chillin back in the 70s and 80s. These days i can't find that anywhere. I miss the good old days when people were happier and more carefree. Thanks for posting this song it made me come to a standstill.

  • @ MsClassof89 I feel for your lost and I can relate there aren't 2 many family members like that anymore as long as this song is in your memory so will Uncle Bug will be in your heart.

  • What a song! Bobby's voice is perfect for this song.

  • i remember my mother playin this while having her fish fries on friday night when all the neighbors would be out oh what good times we ad

  • My husband died suddenly in 1997 after we had been married for 33 years. Shortly after his death I was in my husbands car looking over the Atlantic Ocean feeling so alone and lonely. I happened to look into the glove compartment of the car and I came upon a tape with this song on it, it was so beautiful and I had never heard it before. Shortly after that, I sold the car and forgot to keep the tape, and I didn't know who the artist was either. Thank you so much for giving this song back to me.

  • @canelamujer awesome

  • @canelamujer

    Thank God you got your song back

  • @canelamujer I want to thank everyone from the bottom of my heart for your well wishes. I still miss my husband (my baby) but God is with me and He keeps me strong. Love to all.

  • @canelamujer beautiful!

  • I still remember the night I heard this song sung by an extremely charming young girl (of course, Japanese) with her lover accompanying on acoustic guitar. The moment I recognized how great this song was.

  • From Tokyo, Japan - yeah! And it's members only tonight, go tell mama, go tell daddy, bring Yellow, Black and White, it's members only tonight! I thank you Bobby, I thank you.

  • This song has so much meaning to it. Anyone that have been through anything knows. This is one of BBBland's best. Simply love it!!!!

  • Wow everytime I hear this song I reflect back on my GOD Mother blasting her Stereo on A Friday night Lol years later in the late 80's early 90's me and my Homies blasting the same song singing off key

  • HOW CAN U NOT LIKE THIS SONG!

  • This is one of the best songs Bobby B sang, I didn't understand it when my parents played it, When I was younger. As I have gotten older and been through some things I understand it better now!!

  • hm memories love it, Dit steve wonder sing this song also couse a friend of mine said he did. I like this one the best

  • I saw Bobby perform this song twice. Once in the old Mosque in Richmond and also in Cleveland when he was opening for BB. Robin's egg blue silk bazer, cigarette smoke swirling around his head as he came out. Man, that was a night. People don't know what he did for the blues. His songs spoke to the simple needs and feelings of the people. Thank the good Lord I saw it in person. Love ya, 55 year old white guy in Dallas.

  • this brings back tons of memories for me and family

  • @MrAKIRKWOOD "TONS"?! How do you weigh a memory?!

    No Offense but I wish people would stop using the term "TONS" in place of terms meaning "MANY"... Just sayin'

    Thanks for the comment!

  • @phartattack You are going to stir up tons of trouble using all caps when typing!!!

    Just kidding. I love this song.

  • @phartattack this is probably my first comment on youtube ever, but it strikes me as odd that you are able to feel the beauty of the blues while at the same time neglecting the poetic nature of a metaphorical use of the word "tons" for quantity. it is so simple that it has indeed been incorporated into everyday language. "tons" just adds more significance to a statement by adding a certain sense of (unmeasurable, yes) weight. overused? maybe. but nobody is talking physics here. thanks 4 the song

  • @phartattack ton is recognised in the dictionary as and informal term for "A large extent, amount, or number. Often used in the plural". so it's actually correct, keep your ignorant opinions to yourself.

  • @phartattack ton is used as a figure of speech........just sayin'

  • @MrAKIRKWOOD I know what you meant! tons, lots, many, it's all the same!! Yes this song rocks!!

  • THIS IS MY SONG!!!!!

  • This was my Uncle Bug's favorite song. He died not too long after it came out. I remember him with a cigarette dangling from his bottom lip with a little somethin to sip on his eyes closed rocking backk n forth with the rhythm telling Bobby to "sang it". Uncle Bug was one of those uncles who didn't judge or fuss at you when you messed up. He'd just spit that ol' skool wisdom that let you know he KNEW what he was talking bout cuz he'd been there. Miss him sooooo much.

  • @phartattack LOL.

  • 9 people missed the like button. what da frick? this is one of the best blues songs out there....

  • I remember hearing these song when my father was a live. He loved this, riding in the back seat with my older brother. While he was driving and our mom is sitting up front with him. He would say "
