Robert Calvin Bland (born Robert Calvin Brooks; January 27, &#;– June 23, ), known professionally as Bobby "Blue" Bland, was an American blues singer. Bland developed a sound that mixed gospel with the blues and R&B.[2] He was described as "among the great storytellers of blues and soul music [who] created tempestuous arias of love, betrayal and resignation, set against roiling, dramatic orchestrations, and left the listener drained but awed."[3] The inspiration behind his unique style was a Detroit Preacher, CL Franklin, because Bland studied his sermons.[4] He was sometimes referred to as the "Lion of the Blues" and as the "Sinatra of the Blues".[1] His music was influenced by Nat King Cole.[5]
Bland was inducted into the Blues Hall of Fame in , the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in , and the Memphis Music Hall Bobby blue bland members only!
