Generally I'm only a moderate fan of BB, as his "howling" gets on my nerves. But when he sings, he's got an absolutely remarkable voice, and this song is a perfect showcase for it. Just phenomenal.
One word……..ignorance. Thankfully, I had the good fortune to see The Man at the height of his vocal powers during the Duke years. There will never be another bluesman like Bobby, who didn't need a guitar, harp, or any other props other than that amazing voice and incomparable stage presence.
Bobby was a giant among the bluesman. When we lost Bobby, we lost one of the great ones. It will be a long time before someone comes along and pick up the ball where Bobby left off. R.I.P. Bobby Blue Bland.
