Bobby "Blue" Bland
All I can say after watching this episode of UNSUNG is NICE JOB, TV One.
I'm not a die-hard blues fan but I respect the genre immensely. BB King and Bobby "Blue" Band has the blues on lock, you hear me? Both were and will always be absolute legends in the game and there will never be another presence like them. Period.
What BB did on the guitar, Mr. Bland did with his voice. Such emotion and raw soul he had. To be able to bring tears to the listener with one's voice is truly the mark of a REAL artist. Bobby Bland was a master storyteller and watching his story tonight reminded me of how some people are put here to gift the world with their journey and leave us with music to forever learn from and cherish.
May they both rest in peace.
