Bobby "Blue" Bland's silky-smooth vocal style and captivating live
performances helped propel the blues out of Delta juke joints and
into urban clubs and upscale theaters. Soul of the Man: Bobby
"Blue" Bland relates how Bland, along with longtime friend B. B.
King, and other members of the loosely knit group who called
themselves the Beale Streeters, forged a new electrified blues
style in Memphis in the early 1950s. Combining elements of Delta
blues, southern gospel, big-band jazz, and country and western
music, Bland and the Beale Streeters were at the heart of a
revolution. This biography traces how Bland scored hit after hit,
placing more than sixty songs on the R&B charts throughout the
1960s, '70s, and '80s. A four-time Grammy nominee, he received
Lifetime Achievement Awards from the National Academy of Recording
Arts and Sciences and the Blues Foundation, as well as the Rhythm
& Blues Foundation's Pioneer Award. He was also inducted into
the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the Blues Foundation's Hall of
Fame. This biography at last heralds one of America's great music
makers.
