Bobby Blue Bland -- "Ain't No Sunshine When She's Gone" live

I don't think this clip needs any words. Bobby Blue Bland live -- simply great. 

The Dells — “So You Are Love”

Alright. I have been quite busy, but that didn't keep me from finding some music I wanted to share with you all. 

I heard this track while I was on the way to Corpus Christi to spend a weekend on the Gulf coast. Hubby and I just love it there. So, this song came up and I was surprised I had never heard it before. At least, I can't remember I did. Next thing I did, I looked it up and found out why.  It was released in 1980 on their album "I Touched A Dream." From the late 70's on, my life had revolved around building our future together. There was not much time for fun. 

 Anyway, I really love this song and agree with the description of the album I found on Allmusic. 

 "The last great Dells album, and one of the year's big surprises. The Dells were on another new label, and now were working with Carl Davis and Eugene Records (also of The Chi-Lites). The pair simply restored The Dells' strengths; each production made sure Marvin Jr.'s roaring leads and Johnny Carter's wavery falsetto were at the forefront. They also got them a superb ballad in the title track, a good message song in '"It's All About The Paper," and other fine cuts.'" 

Here's the track list from that album:

You all know me. Once I get started, it's hard to stop me. I just found this interview with Marvin Junior -- and it is simply too good not to be shared. Enjoy! He was a great singer and, I am sure, he will win many a heart even after he left us.
