RIP: Bobby Blue Bland
(Memphis) The Memphis Music Foundation confirms well-known blues musician Bobby “Blue” Bland has died. Bland got his start in the 1950′s and 60′s and would later perform with artists like Sam Cooke and Ray Charles. He is best known for hits like “Turn on Your Love Light”, “That’s the Way Love Is” and “I Pity the Fool”. Bland was born in Rosemark, TN but later moved to Memphis with his mother. He is a member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the Blues Hall of Fame. Pat Worley with the Memphis Music Foundation said, “It is a great loss for the blues and for Memphis Music. He was a trail blazer and his music will be missed.”

Saw him and BB King, great show and great musician. It was early 80's at a club called Rockefellers here in Houston. I was in high school and underage, but we had our ways to get in the club. During the show I ran into my English teacher. She was impressed that two white boys would go to a blues show. From then on my, relationship with the teacher was an A+.

Saw him open for BB King as well, at the Palace Theater in Columbus, Ohio. One of my favorite shows. RIP.

I too saw him open for BB.. Tallahassee 1983. Oh for the days when musicians and singers could do more then rhyme over a beat, or mish mash on turntables.... the art of popular music is losing the music....
