In his honor, here's a link to a performance by he and BB King performing "The Thrill is Gone" in the 70s.
The Thrill is Gone
to the legend. Hard to come by blues and soul like that anymore.

For the Bicentennial Celebration of Covington, LA, I did a couple of history talks recently. Part of the talk is on the West 30's, which is the historically black neighborhood literally next to the RR tracks .. low income, shotgun houses.
Bobby "Blue" Bland was a regular playing the bars there in the 50's, 60s and 70s, part of the Chitlin Circuit (blacks couldn't play whites-only venues). Others that played the bars were BB King, Irma Thomas, Ray Charles, James Brown, Fats Domino.
Bobby "Blue" Bland could sing.
