I am crazy about Bobby "Blue" Bland. It amazes me the way he makes that growling sound with his throat.

Question

Does anyone know how he does that?

Answer 1

Bobby Blue Bland learned his signature growl from the Late Reverend C. L. Franklin, father of the Queen of Soul, Aretha Franklin

Answer 2

Ya, he sounds pretty cool when he sings. You should find some of the work he did with BB King. Soudns awesome. Those two together were like cake n' Ice Cream!!

Answer 3

He is great and has a very unique voice. No I don't know how he does it. I would eventually love to get one or both of the live CDs he did with BB King.

Answer 4

Thats just the way he sings. I like him too and I have alot of his cd's. His voice is excellent for Blues style.
