Website Bobbybluebland.Com Robert Calvin Bland Born January 27 1930 Better Known As Bobby “Blue” Bland Is An American Singer Of Blues And Soul. He Is An Original Member Of The Beale Streeters. 1 And Is Sometimes Referred To As The "Lion Of The Blues". Along With Such Artists As Sam Cooke Ray Charles And Junior Parker Bland Developed A Sound That Mixed Gospel With The Blues And R&B. In 1992 Bobby Bland Was Inducted Into The Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame And In 1997 He Received The Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award. * 1 Career * 2 Discography O 2.1 Selected Singles O 2.2 Selected Albums Career Bobby "Blue" Bland Was Born In The Small Town Of Rosemark Tennessee USA. Later Moving To Memphis With His Mother Bland Started Singing With Local Gospel Groups There Including Amongst Others The Miniatures. Eager To Expand His Interests He Began Frequenting The City's Famous Beale Street Where He Became Associated With An Ad Hoc Circle Of Aspiring Musicians Named Not Unnaturally The Beale Streeters. 1 Bland's Recordings From The Early 1950s Show Him Striving For Individuality But Any Progress Was Halted By A Spell In The U.S. Army. When The Singer Returned To Memphis In 1954 He Found Several Of His Former Associates Including Johnny Ace Enjoying Considerable Success While Bland's Recording Label Duke Had Been Sold To Houston Entrepreneur Don Robey. In 1956 Bland Began Touring With Little Junior Parker. Initially He Doubled As Valet And Driver A Role He Reportedly Fulfilled For B. B. King And Rosco Gordon. 3 Simultaneously Bland Began Asserting His Characteristic Vocal Style. Melodic Big-Band Blues Singles Including "Farther Up The Road" 1957 And "Little Boy Blue" 1958 Reached The US R&B Top 10 But Bobby's Craft Was Most Clearly Heard On A Series Of Early 1960s Releases Including "Cry Cry Cry " "I Pity The Fool" And The Sparkling "Turn On Your Love Light " Which Became A Much-Covered Standard. Despite Credits To The Contrary Many Such Classic Works Were Written By Joe Scott The Artist's Bandleader And Arranger. Bland Continued To Enjoy A Consistent Run Of R&B Chart Entries Throughout The Mid-'60s But His Recorded Work Was Nonetheless Eclipsed By A Younger Generation Of Performers. Bland's Highest Charting Song On The Pop Chart "Ain't Nothing You Can Do" Only Peaked At #20 During The Same Week The Beatles Held Down The Top 5 Spots. Financial Pressures Forced The Singer To Cut His Touring Band And In 1968 The Group Broke Up Altogether. His Relationship With Scott Who Died In 1979 Was Irrevocably Severed. Nonetheless Depressed And Increasingly Dependent On Alcohol Bland Weathered This Unhappy Period. He Stopped Drinking In 1971 His Record Company Duke Was Sold To The Larger ABC Records Group Resulting In Several Contemporary Blues/soul Albums Including California And Dreamer. The Leadoff Track From Dreamer "Ain't No Love In The Heart Of The City " Was A Minor Hit But It Would Eventually Become Bland's Best-Known Song Thanks To A Cover By The Hard Rock Band Whitesnake And Much Later A Sample On Jay-Z's 2001 Album The Blueprint. Subsequent Attempts At Pushing The Artist Towards The Disco Market Were Unsuccessful But A 1983 Release "Here We Go Again" Provided A Commercial Life-Line. Two Years Later Bland Was Signed By Malaco Records Specialists In Traditional Southern Black Music Who Provided An Empathetic Environment. One Of The Finest Singers In Post-War Blues Bobby Bland Has Sadly Failed To Reach The Popular Acclaim His Influence And Craft Perhaps Deserves. Irish Singer-Songwriter Van Morrison Has Often Had Bland As A Guest Singer At His Concerts And Also Included A Previously Unreleased Version Of A March 2000 Duet Of Morrison And Bland Singing "Tupelo Honey" On His 2007 Compilation Album The Best Of Van Morrison Volume 3.
