    I really enjoyed it Mal,nice to see him talk about Don Robey and the history of his music. Not so great to hear Mick Hucknall though ;(

    Hi Mal This was a repeat it was first shown a couple of years ago. Mick Hucknall even thinking he could sing a Bobby Bland tune is biasphemy. Dave

loved the deserved, but belated, coverage of Bobby Bland by our Broadcasting Corp.; but I found this almost impossibly sad to watch, just as it was completely unmissable too.

 

the guy talked likes he sang - hear tbreaking all the way through

 

been a bit obsessed with this guy since I first heard his voice [ walking up the stairs at the Pendulum in Manc on the Friday night I first went there and heard 'Call on me' ] .

 

collected his stuff ever since - played them out lots too [ but now I wish I'd played more ]

 

what a singer, doubt we'll ever see the like ?

I didn't, or don't mind, Mick hucknell, he's a fan, and whether its fashionable or not, he has a beautiful voice, I think it lends its self to Bobby's recordings...

I think Bobby's music has touched so many people from all walks of life, I'm just glad I've been able to be a fan, and will continue to be for a long time yet....

As for the BBC, Day Late, but not a dollar short....
