Bobby Bland RIP

[SCIDB]

Hi,

Sad news of the passing of Bobby Bland. Bobby was a great singer who sang some mighty fine songs. He never had the crossover success like some other stars like Ray Charles etc but he was still a big hit maker on the R&B charts.

His distinctive voice brought an urgency to the vocal performance. RIP.

One of the finest singers of all time.

Really sad news. I just love all his stuff. From Duke to Malaco and beyond.

RIP
