[@jaybryan3082]

[@joejohnson6321]

Makes me reminisce of my old neighbor and I can remember the older gentlemen sitting around on Friday and Saturdays nights smoking their cigars drinking beer, gambling and listening to this music. Those men where real men who took care of their families and protected the neighborhood.

[@mikevallen999]

Without a doubt...one of the most gifted rhythm and blues artists that ever walked this planet .

Who still rocking Bobby in 2024🤔🤔

[@tonydialsr7190]

I met Mr. Bobby Blue Bland in 1965 in Detroit Mi ,at a gig held a t a Cabaret Hall named Soul City on Joy and Beverley Rd. I was a young person trying to break off into music. At that time Mr. Bobby Blue Bland had a Revue and a Big Band just like on this post. He gave us permission to perform and he had his band back us . Man what a blessing. Since that time I have been in his presence ,he has always been a class act. I love this brother and always will. The young performers today I believe they do not have the great mentors like him that we had . R.I.P. My Brother .

[@margieealey2827]

He will always be the BEST BLUES SINGER ever. R I P Mr Bland.

[@shirleylewis4762]

The greatest of all times. I saw in H-Town @ the Continental Show Case along with Joe Simon, Johnnie Taylor and so many others; the good ole days!!

[@mariongatewood511]

Great singer of all times. Says your fan Marion G, Williams,

[@BedeYahEmmanuel]

I was raised on the Blues, My mom use to date Elmore James, so it was instilled in me from the time I knew anything. Lowell Fulson, Roosevelt Skyes, Little Willie John, Junior Parker, CHarles Brown, BB, Freddie, & Albert King. Lighting Hopkins, man I could go on & on. But I remember the day that she brought home "The Feeling Is Gone" By Bobby Bland. Talking about a life altering experience. I would neve be touched like that again until Jimi Hendrix & Buddy Miles. Key up this video to 6:30 to hear quite possibly is best song that he ever sung, I know from the time her recorded it, until the time he stopped touring it was always in the line up! Just listen! He's a great singer & I have many songs that I love to hear him sing. But this "The Feeling Is Gone" runs second to nothing!!!

[@HenryLScott-cc1qx]

A great tribute to a great Blues Singer. Thanks for sharing.

[@lovelyhilliard8381]

[@CUPPhifer]

I can't count the times I have gone to see Mr. Bobby Blue Bland in Memphis. We did so many girls trips to Memphis for Memphis in May back in the day! I love his BEAUTIFUL SOULFUL rhythm. The ease of his voice hits you deeply, the tears just flow, JOYFULLY! There will never be another like He or Mr. BB King. My opinion.. Love and miss them both....

[@facebookseabrook2784]

Him and BB. King is definitely that.

[@joanntaylor4436]

Great man, great entertainer and a great friend. I saw him many times when he came to Dallas in Houston in Memphis, Tennessee.

[@amoskirk6814]

Love that Blues, Sing it Bobby God Bless

[@CharlesSmith-ff7ou]

Merle Haggard is one of my favorite singers. And he done a great job writing and singing this song. But when I seen this, omg I fell in love with the song again

[@GarlandFloyd]

yes!!!! We what a country song. This made this was very. Merle was very.

[@gateswf]

Thanks for posting this, good to see great singers play live. This is all musicians playing, not the today's artificial digital sounds. I appreciate this more now than back in the day.

[@gateswf]

+gateswf Do you know when this was recorded? The suits look like 50's-60's. What horns add to a show is priceless. You can get the same sampled sound from keyboards, but its a poor imitation to a real horn section.

[@gateswf]

+gateswf The sound and resolution make me think this is more recent than the 70's

[@gateswf]

+gateswf Ah, the Peavey amp, the guitarist is using, that's 80"s. My guess is this performance was in the late 80's. Guitar, 60's Gibson 345 with a Bigsby tail piece, hard to keep in tune but, the guy makes it cry....

[@gateswf]

+gateswf Johnny Jones on guitar! In his younger days. Makes sense now.

[@velmajackson2671]

When i was a girl mom had every record he made i misshim r.i.p.

[@Prosource1Construction]

Til this day never a voice as velvety smooth as the voice of Bobby Blue Bland. His voice is unlike any other and as soon as you hear his voice you know it's none other than Bobby Blue Bland himself. Dynamite voice and awesome delivery of the lyrical content of any blues song.

[@Edie-jh7ol]

Love his songs got to see his concert 1957

[@rsmith4623]

The WORLD’S GREATEST BLUES SINGER!!! RIP Bobby! You live on through your fans!!!!

[@ruthhawkins7402]

He sure is I was looking at unsung on News One about the life of B. Bland and decided to go to u tube and pull him up. I have been listening to him singing and performing for at least 6-hrs.He has a voice that is awesome/soothing. Now I know what I am going to do on Jan 20,2017 instead of turning on the television. My late husband took me to see him on our first date, which was so very many years ago. Love Bobby Bland, RIP

[@patriciaoken6732]

I was so blessed that My Mom raised me on playing Bobby Bland, and BB King, and Billie Holiday, and Al Green, Wes Montgomery, Les McCann, Cannon Ball Adley Album's. In which she has passed them all to me.. There are so much more.. I definitely treasure them, and I play them often. So I was VERY HONORED that a really good friend of mine took me to see Bobby Bland and BB King, and my friend made it possible for me to meet them both. I asked BB if I could kiss 💋 Lucille. BB said that he has not let very many Ladies kiss Lucille, but he said that Lucille was very due for a kiss, and I got to give her a well needed KISS 💋. 🎸
