Bobby 'Blue' Bland, Legendary Soul Singer, Dead at 83 Jun 24th 2013, 17:36 Bobby (Blue) Bland, a soul singer often credited with modernizing the blues, died Sunday at his home in Germantown, Tenn. He was 83. Bland never achieved the acclaim of his contemporaries B.B. King (whom he actually served as a chauffeur for a while) and Ray Charles, but he was a regular on the charts and club circuit. Known as "the Sinatra of the blues," he openly imitated Sinatra on the cover of his biggest album, "Two Steps From the Blues."
