Louise Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 Sad news indeed with the passing of another all time great and a true legend.On the occassions that I 've been asked what is a soul record my reply is to go and listen toBobby Bland's "Share Your Love With Me" if you don't get it after that you never will.Dave 2 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
jocko Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 (edited) Massive artist, massive influence on my beloved soul music, there from the birth arguably. And what a voice. From Shoes at Wigan Casino to his version of If Loving You Is Wrong in a darkened room with a glass of finest Brandy, what a journey he has taken me on. Its Not the Spotlight maybe apt for Bobby and his career. Lucky enough to see him, supporting Van Morrison, his voice was gone but still a big enough thrill to have us walk out, (loudly to pi*s off the VM fans that had talked and clinked glasses all through BB's set) through VM first quiet song. He was never going to be Bobby Bland no matter how hard he tried.Read Charles Keil's Urban Blues for a great chapter on Bobby's influence on Black America, and not just music.A giant of a man, the soul of the man lives on.RIP xx Edited June 25, 2013 by jocko 2 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Guest nsoulxx Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 Yield not to temptation oh my love while I'm away., probably one of the songs to turn my head from the mod scene of the 80s revival to the northern scene. He was massive on the mod scene and his voice still moves me your this day like no other. What an important man and a legend. Bobby bland I salute you x Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Mick Sway Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 Sad news indeed. Call on Me remains a favourite club tune from when I first heard it at the Golden Torch in 1969. It became and remains myself and Tina's tune today and always brings a smile to our faces. Listen: Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
