Bobby "Blue" Bland aka Robert Calvin "Bobby" Bland aka "The Lion of the Blues"

Blues genius -- via wreg.com. A contemporary of the late, great Johnny Ace, Ray Charles, Sam Cooke, Junior Parker, and others, he like them combined the fervent power of gospel with the heartsick longing of Delta blues, creating R & B, soul, and deeply influencing funk and rock. So cool he had one nickname within another. 'Nuff said.
