I met Mr. Bobby Blue Bland in 1965 in Detroit Mi ,at a gig held a t a Cabaret Hall named Soul City on Joy and Beverley Rd. I was a young person trying to break off into music. At that time Mr. Bobby Blue Bland had a Revue and a Big Band just like on this post. He gave us permission to perform and he had his band back us . Man what a blessing. Since that time I have been in his presence ,he has always been a class act. I love this brother and always will. The young performers today I believe they do not have the great mentors like him that we had . R.I.P. My Brother .
Makes me reminisce of my old neighbor and I can remember the older gentlemen sitting around on Friday and Saturdays nights smoking their cigars drinking beer, gambling and listening to this music. Those men where real men who took care of their families and protected the neighborhood.
I love the blues because my whole life been the blues y'all all. You. Blue. Guys and ladies Rip. Thank you for the. Music the. Best. Until we meet again brothers.and. Sisters
Til this day never a voice as velvety smooth as the voice of Bobby Blue Bland. His voice is unlike any other and as soon as you hear his voice you know it's none other than Bobby Blue Bland himself. Dynamite voice and awesome delivery of the lyrical content of any blues song.
Thanks for posting this, good to see great singers play live. This is all musicians playing, not the today's artificial digital sounds. I appreciate this more now than back in the day.
+gateswf Do you know when this was recorded? The suits look like 50's-60's. What horns add to a show is priceless. You can get the same sampled sound from keyboards, but its a poor imitation to a real horn section.
+gateswf Ah, the Peavey amp, the guitarist is using, that's 80"s. My guess is this performance was in the late 80's. Guitar, 60's Gibson 345 with a Bigsby tail piece, hard to keep in tune but, the guy makes it cry....
Greats hits Bobby Blue Bland. And B.B.KING was great friends. Bobb blue Bland . Great singer superb singer spectacular @ great voices of all times. I listened to Bobby Blue Bland when i was nine years. And still love him today, i love his songs i take care you, put on your Red Hight heels. I feel all of my Emotions and heartful song. Bobby Blue Bland , make me feel things i never felt before. Oh! My. When i need you, to stand by side. Oh wow!@ Lord Have mercy and stormy Monday, iam listened to Bobby Blue Bland iam crying. He is really touching my heart. Bobby Blue Bland sings real lives songs Breaking Heart songs make you think about deep Love. OH WOW!! ❤😊 BO BOBBY BLUE BLAND SINGS THE REAL BLUES, SOULFUL HITS, BOBBY BLUE BLAND WAS A ICON, AND A SUPER STAR , GIFTED blues Singer God given Talent. KNOW ONES CAN DO IT LIKE BOBBY BLUE BLAND 😂 AND HE TAKE HIS TIME, AND HIS GUITARS PLAYER, ALMOST FEEL LIKE YOU ARE MAKING LOVE SLOWLY. I LOVE BOBBY BLUE BLAND SONG GOING DOWN SLOW. I LOVE YOU BOBBY BLUE BLAND
I heard all of guys as a kid..my Dad played..B.B King..Bobby Blue Bland..Diana Washington. Brook Benton..Nancy Wilson Etta James..we sang all these songs more while he tought me to cook...Rip Dad I love Daddy 😍
Imagine if this great man had been a pianist or played guitar, he would be even more popular on the pop charts as Mr. King was....but he didn't have that to fall back on......all he had was that magnificent voice
I was raised on the Blues, My mom use to date Elmore James, so it was instilled in me from the time I knew anything. Lowell Fulson, Roosevelt Skyes, Little Willie John, Junior Parker, CHarles Brown, BB, Freddie, & Albert King. Lighting Hopkins, man I could go on & on. But I remember the day that she brought home "The Feeling Is Gone" By Bobby Bland. Talking about a life altering experience. I would neve be touched like that again until Jimi Hendrix & Buddy Miles. Key up this video to 6:30 to hear quite possibly is best song that he ever sung, I know from the time her recorded it, until the time he stopped touring it was always in the line up! Just listen! He's a great singer & I have many songs that I love to hear him sing. But this "The Feeling Is Gone" runs second to nothing!!!
When he sang you can feel it always down to your toes.he was just that good.i really do appreciate and love this gentleman.rest in peace Bobby blue bland.
This man's music is therapeutic. I did not like his music because the only thing I could hear was his squawk.But depression led me to just listen. It lifted me out of my depressive state and I've been loving him ever since. A true gift.
absolutely incredible. back n the early 60's we were living in midland, texas. my mother was a waitress at the cobra club. on sundays she would stash us above the band n we'd watch the 1st set. incredible. frfr. Travis.
I can't count the times I have gone to see Mr. Bobby Blue Bland in Memphis. We did so many girls trips to Memphis for Memphis in May back in the day! I love his BEAUTIFUL SOULFUL rhythm. The ease of his voice hits you deeply, the tears just flow, JOYFULLY! There will never be another like He or Mr. BB King. My opinion.. Love and miss them both....
Merle Haggard is one of my favorite singers. And he done a great job writing and singing this song. But when I seen this, omg I fell in love with the song again
I was so blessed that My Mom raised me on playing Bobby Bland, and BB King, and Billie Holiday, and Al Green, Wes Montgomery, Les McCann, Cannon Ball Adley Album's. In which she has passed them all to me.. There are so much more.. I definitely treasure them, and I play them often. So I was VERY HONORED that a really good friend of mine took me to see Bobby Bland and BB King, and my friend made it possible for me to meet them both. I asked BB if I could kiss 💋 Lucille. BB said that he has not let very many Ladies kiss Lucille, but he said that Lucille was very due for a kiss, and I got to give her a well needed KISS 💋. 🎸
He sure is I was looking at unsung on News One about the life of B. Bland and decided to go to u tube and pull him up. I have been listening to him singing and performing for at least 6-hrs.He has a voice that is awesome/soothing. Now I know what I am going to do on Jan 20,2017 instead of turning on the television. My late husband took me to see him on our first date, which was so very many years ago. Love Bobby Bland, RIP
My mon loved this man she passed four months before he did and she has every song that he has put out and she even has the one's he did with BB King he did Mr Bland was a Smooth man
I Love Bobby Blue Bland Saw him in Atlanta And gave him a Painting of him and his band I had done of them all He was shocked and surprized and Just loved it! I saw his son back stage and he directed me to Bobby's room saying " That's My Daddy" That's My Daddy!!! Also saw him Here in nashville at the exit in and in Bourdeau and in B'ham Just Love the Blues
Bobby over the years has had the best guitarist the world has ever heard . Wayne Bennett, Mel Brown , Ray Neal Jr . In my open ion Johnny Jones has the best feeling of the soft blues. Don’t get me wrong they are all legends.
Another genius of blues and a gentle giant of a man, with the voice of love.
Bobby cuttin up, those horns sound tremendous
Oh-o-o -h-h-h, WOW!! I'm Mesmerized, WHEW!!! ❤😂😅!!!! Ms Mair! Keep Up the Soul
❤ SENSATIONAL PHENOMENAL EXTRAORDINARY AMAZING AWESOME BEAUTIFUL HEAVENLY AWESOME ❤❤😊😊!
Sing it Bobby! The lion of the blues!!! Put some damn respect on his name!!!!Who’s listening to the legend in 2020???
9/27/2020 until my time of eternal sleep.

The song that both man and woman loved l believe it came out in the fifties was further on up the road. I still listensto it today!.
A lesson in the Art of the Blues!! It's given here , so study. He has a song called Yolanda . It's one of the most underrated songs of all time
Great the greatest Blues singer of all times
I really loved that B.B. and Bobby were never rivals but were two great entertainers who were friends and worked great together...
A Happy HEAVENLY BIRTHDAY, Mr. Bland!!!!! You are so missed and so loved.There will be another YOU. I love you, Mr. Bland! You are still the man!!!!
I love the blues because my whole life been the blues y'all all. You. Blue. Guys and ladies Rip. Thank you for the. Music the. Best. Until we meet again brothers.and. Sisters

The Greatest Blues Singer of Ever! So glad I had a chance to sit and talk with him!

+gateswf The sound and resolution make me think this is more recent than the 70's
+gateswf Ah, the Peavey amp, the guitarist is using, that's 80"s. My guess is this performance was in the late 80's. Guitar, 60's Gibson 345 with a Bigsby tail piece, hard to keep in tune but, the guy makes it cry....
+gateswf Johnny Jones on guitar! In his younger days. Makes sense now.
Some of the finest sophisticated 'uptown' jazzy kinda blues you ever are going to hear...

Mr. Silas ok li love this man an the blues
damn I like that guitar riff in the second song, "I started loving you again", thats a country song by Merle Haggard but now it got the blues!
yes indeed, i saw the man in person, in a quite small bar on the south side of town, sat up front,near the stage, i have enjoyed his music since 1969.
They don’t even know how to do this anymore. Lawd have mercy.
Lady Doc You got that right! Real musicians and singers have faded drastically!
Bobby Bland and B.B. King singing together is like Superman and Batman teaming up to fight crime together
