Bobby Bland Passes Away It wasn’t until 1958’s “Little Boy Blue,” a record inspired by the homiletic delivery of the Rev. C. L. Franklin, that Mr. Bland arrived at his trademark vocal technique.
“That’s where I got my squall from,” Mr. Bland said, referring to the sermons of Mr. Franklin — “Aretha’s daddy,” as he called him — in a 1979 interview with the author Peter Guralnick. “After I had that I lost the high falsetto. I had to get some other kind of gimmick, you know, to be identified with.”
The corresponding softness in Mr. Bland’s voice, a refinement matched by the elegant formal wear in which he appeared onstage, came from listening to records by pop crooners like Nat King Cole, Tony Bennett and Perry Como.
Just as crucial to the evolution of Mr. Bland’s sound was his affiliation with the trumpet player and arranger Joe Scott, for years the director of artists and repertory for Duke Records in Houston. Given to writing brass-rich arrangements that built dramatically to a climax, Mr. Scott, who died in 1979, supplied Mr. Bland with intricate musical backdrops that set his supple baritone in vivid emotional relief. The two men accounted for more than 30 Top 20 rhythm-and-blues singles for Duke from 1958 to 1968, including the No. 1 hits “I Pity the Fool” and “That’s the Way Love Is.” Steeped in feelings of vulnerability and regret, many of these performances were particularly enthralling to the female portion of Mr. Bland’s audience...
"When the snows fall and the white winds blow, the lone wolf dies but the pack survives."
Winter is Coming
Now this is the Law of the Jungle—as old and as true as the sky; And the wolf that shall keep it may prosper, but the wolf that shall break it must die.
As the creeper that girdles the tree-trunk, the Law runneth forward and back; For the strength of the Pack is the Wolf, and the strength of the Wolf is the Pack.

I saw this in our local newspaper and thought of you. Coincidentally that day I heard him on Bluesville XM radio. Cool voice.

I couldn't get home fast enough to see if it was really true or not. I overheard it on a store radio, but there were no details. OMG, how awful!  RIP Tony Soprano I was in the car driving in the mountains of KY. I heard it on the radio but the station had a little static so I wasn't sure if I heard right or not. Not being able to get the net there I had to wait till I got back home and look it up. So sad RIP Tony.

Actor Allan Ar  bus died April 19 at the age of 95. Arbus was best known for playing psychiatrist Maj. Sidney Freedman on the TV series M*A*S*H* in the 1970's. In his younger days, he was a well-known photographer, working with his ex-wife Diane Arbus.  RIP Signor V. Anyone happen to have Dicknose in this years dead pool? Because he no longer lives on these boards!

How awful. He was so young. I wonder what he died from. I don't watch Glee and don't know him, but I know some BBers do. TIS
