Bland was one of those unsung heroes of his field who had a huge influence on a great many of his contemporaries and on those who followed after him. He was one of those others cited as an influence: 'You think I'm good, you should hear Bobby'. The genres he affected are so many; blues, soul, jazz, rock, pop, country and many others. This is a great loss to the music world..

Thank you, Mr. Bland. RIP...

Agreed. A huge influence in music.

R.I.P. Bobby.

A singer who was unsung? That's a neat trick.
