Blues Spotlight: If One Went To See The Beale Streeters In Memphis In The Late 40s You Would Have Heard A Teenage Bobby Bland Showcasing Those Soulful Pipes That Defined The Soul/Blues Sound Of The 1950s, Becoming One Of The Great Storytellers Of Blues, R&B And Soul. After Returning From A Spell With The Army, Bland's Career Skyrocketed - His Live Performances Electrifying; Chart Success Just As Impressive. Junior Parker And His Blue Flames Were a Perfect Backing Band For Bobby, A Soul-Drenched Influenced Sound With Big Horns And Spikey Guitar, Creating Tempestuous Arias Of Love, Betrayal And Resignation. A Bout With Alcohol Problems Sidelined Him For A Few Years. Rebounding And Rebuilding His CareerIn the Early 1970s, Bland Spent The Next Three Decades Recording And Touring With Many Of The Musicians He influenced. Bobby 'Blue' Bland Is Second In Stature Only To B.B. King As A Product Of Memphis's Beale Street Blues Scene. Robert Calvin Bland Passed On In 2013.
