One of the greatest blues/soul singers of all time, Mr. Bobby “Blue” Bland, has passed at age 83. :frowning:

NY Times obit

And a few of my favorite tunes:

Too Far Gone (To Turn Around)

Poverty

That’s the Way Love Is

NY Times obit

“Farther Up the Road”, “Turn On Your Love Light”, “I’ll Take Care of You”, “Cry Cry Cry”, “I’ll Take Care of You”, “I Pity the Fool”, etc. Wish I would have seen him live :frowning:

A great one passes. I had a version of him covering (what I consider to be T-Bone Walker’s tune) Call it Stormy Monday that I loved.
