We loved Bobby "Blue" Bland in Houston, Texas. The Palladium and Continental Ballrooms were our Friday and Saturday night hangouts when Bobby was in town. Bobby contributed so much to our happiness and good times during the 60s 080s that the youth of today will never experience. -B. Dinkins

[@rockmartinez6482]

Yes whenever he was in town that's the show to see. His shows at the Palladium were memorable but even at other venues, Starlight Ballroom, Pan American Ballroom, Continental Ballroom the audiences were diverse even for that time. Al TNT Braggs, The Joe Scott Orchestra with Wayne Bennett on guitar and Master of Ceremonies Gorgeous George are moments in time that I will cherish all my life.

[@gloriaedwardsmills2885]

Thank youo much for these great memories of Bobby and Johnny. Don't forget my annual birthday party @ the Big Easy 1st Saturday in November. Love to all of my old fans and hopeful new fans. I am going to perform. a tribute to Bobby & Johnny.

[@rockmartinez6482]

There was no one like Bobby Bland. I am so lucky to have seen this marvelous entertainer in his prime at so many shows I can't count them all. He was surrounded by the best band ever and Wayne Bennett on guitar, Al TNT Braggs and some really good ladies too like Yvonne Fair. Oh those were the days man...Bobby Bland an American Treasure.

How many people says that today, in these times .Mr. Bobby Blue Bland says iam gone for good, in reality, he wanted to leave but didn't have the strength, to leave his woman, he left, but he came back!! Real love make you , stay. Then Mr. Bobby Blue Bland says , Awe, baby, with great compassion!! And hurt, with tears in his eyes, and he said LORD pleased save me, save me lord. He couldn't pull his self away from his woman, and he had been outside looking in and asked his woman to take him back again, then the last verse of the songs said LORD please save me, and then he told his woman, THIS TIME IAM GONE FOR GOOD.

[@sharonibaloni6693]

YES THERE WAS NO ONE LIKE BOBBY BLAND RIP

[@maggierae9918]

No, he was not a showman. I was thinking about that myself. I used go out to see him a lot, and I was always amazed at how he would just stand in spot and keeping flicking and popping that mic cord! But oh my, he could really tear the place up with that voice of his. Loved BBB!

[@bessiefunches4087]

Have always loved his music..I have been listening to only his music for more than 40 yrs!! RIP BOBBY..U WILL B MISSED / LOVED FOREVER N OUR HEARTS.

[@rodriguezmoses]

RIP and thank you for all the blessing, comfort and happiness you brought me through your music and voice!

[@rockmartinez6482]

The great ones are showmen because they have style, charisma and of course the golden voice. Bobby Bland was all of those things..and when he hit the pop charts in the mid sixties it was a validation of a career that needed to be appreciated not only by the R&B and soul lovers but by mid-America and all those who just love great music. I met many young white kids who fell in love with this man and also started going to his shows and his many top 40 hits was testament to that popularity and talent.

[@johnnyjonesjones5893]

The greatest blues singer ever lived

Heeyy Buffington in this clip I know for a fact the drummer is George Weaver my Army buddy from Mobile Ala. George also at one time was a member of the Otis Redding Band and Johnnie Taylor Band too.

[@Wildhonydrive]

Happy birthday.

[@terry47family]

Sho u right,, these guys are master musicians, tight. You no long see bands reading music. I believe that the drummer is Mr. Bland's son. Maybe not. I do know that he plays with his father. After Mr. Bland and King B, it will be the end of an ear.

[@tony265982]

he was no showman....all he did was sing. and sometimes thats all you need.....

[@donegottooold]

Does anyone know where (in St. Louis) this was? I know where it's not, but I'm having trouble identifying the venue.

[@oldlady7589]

Connie Jackson ..Think it was Powell Symphony Hall on the corner across from the FOX on Grand Ave in the Lou...

[@robmacon2527]

Chances are it was "Bob Riggins Club 54" on Grand Ave. across the street of Lisa's Motel which he owned. I worked there with dj Dr. Jockenstein. I took the food and drinks to the stars dressing room.

[@oldlady7589]

@@robmacon2527 Was that Club 54? This appearance ie where I said on Grand. I was there. I was at Culub 54 also. Ali of our greats are gone. I am thankful to still be hanging on along with my memories of the good times we use to have. Take care and the best to you and yours...
