I learned to listen to the Blues with my parents as a kid.
It is not my favorite Genre. I prefer Gospel.
I recently had a question related to the Gospel/Blues link on the LSAT.
It indicated that Blues and Gospel are closely related.
But, when and if I do listen to the Blues it would be someone like BB King or Little Milton.

Something from BB like:
"You Done Lost Your Good Thing Now"
and B.B. lets Lucille do the talkin'

Something from Little Milton like I'd Rather Be With You

See a snippet of the songs at: http://www.worldblues.com/bbking/prairie/lucille.html
and/or http://www.mp3.com/little-milton/artists/47054/summary.html
 
I like some of it...and that's just b/c I'm around it all the time....folks in my family looooooooveeeeee the blues, honey chile.
 
I love Johnny Taylor's music

But the TOP has to be,
& don't even think you can call him straight blues,
But Bobby Womack can teach alot men how to be REAL Men :tup:
 
JagBR that is the Cha Cha Slide....everybody and THEY momma can do that, it's like a new school Electric Slide, popular at clubs and weddings...
 
Bobby Womack is not blues. Just because he is over 50 and sings does not make him a Blues singer. His records are not even played in rotation on Blues stations. Bobby Womack is a down to earth soul singer. The music he played was called Soul. If you classify Bobby Womack as blues then you would have to classify Al Green,Aretha Franklin,Wilson Pickett,Lenny Williams,Otis Redding,Sam Cooke as blues singers as well.
Hec, I guess if Alicia Keys,Alexander Hamilton and John Legend were over 50 I guess they would be classified as Blues singers also. When someone calls Bobby Womack a blues singer then they really have not listen to all of his music.

But anyway blues music is Black peoples lifestyle, whether it's in the South or the West coast,East coast or up North,Black people from all those regions can relate because most of their relatives are from the South and whether they agree or not,our lifestyle is similar in all regions.
 

I grew up listening to blues music. My mom loves it.

Even my 18 year old sister likes some of the music...she loves Johnny Taylor
Here are some of the artist I am familar with:

Denise Lasalle
Johnny Taylor
Bobby"Blue" Bland
Marvin Cease
J. Blackfoot

I understand all of that, & I agree with you for the most part.

Bobby Womack is a genuine SOUL singer, one of the best that ever did it.

BUT

If You don?t think he ever made some BLUES Songs then, You ain?t
Heard what I heard.

Don?t make me scrap with you over my boy Bobby Womack :)
 
I'll listen to the blues, but my parents played 'em out when I was little. Even today, when I go home, it's nothing for my parents to have their truck parked with the windows down and some blues blastin'.

For starters;

'That's The Way I Feel About Cha'
'Woman's Gotta Have It'
'Harry Hippie'

I got every record Bobby ever recorded, even his stuff with the Valentinos,
and all the songs he wrote for Wilson Pickett.

I listed just a few songs you may be familiar with & wouldn't argue that can be considered blues songs.

But check, Bobby married Barbara Campbell, Sam Cooke's widow, only three months after Sam's death, & during that time he was hated on by many in the industry, Bobby put out many a Blues song then :lol:

I agree with you saying that Bobby Womack and other artists not starting their careers as blues singers.... artists like Denise LaSalle, Bobby "Blue' Bland, Tyrone Davis (R.I.P.), Johnnie Taylor (R.I.P.), Little Milton (Campbell)(R.I.P.). etc.... especially with Tyrone and Johnnie... they were BIG STARS in the 60s and 70s, putting out #1 hits... but by the time the late 70s and early 80s rolled around, the big record label saw their "soul" music as not appealing to young people... so they were out of jobs... the only way they were able (or are able) to make money was to hit the chittlin circuit.... so I guess that is how many of them end up as blue singers or with that stigma... and if they call themselves blues singers (like I hear Denise LaSalle say a lot of times... she is the Queen of the Blues), then they are blues singers...

Me.. I road to work at night at the casino many nights, bumpin my johnnie taylor greatest hits CD and my three custom blues mix CDs...

Sir Charles Jones
Theodis Ealey
Denise LaSalle
Tyrone Davis
Peggy Scott Adams just to name a few....


Oh yeah.... F Willie Clayton... he gets NO RESPECT from anyone in this town (he was born and raised here, but he says he was born and raised in Chicago... no one from here goes to his Homecoming concert (that he doesnt throw in his hometown :lmao: )
