Friday Jukebox 7.5.13: A Small Tribute to Bobby 'Blue' Bland

Two weeks ago, Bobby 'Blue' Bland passed away at the age of 83. He had numerous exquisite masterpieces, including this gem, "Ain't no Love in the Heart of the City," from the 1974 LP album Dreamer. The band Whitesnake would later cover this gem on a live album of theirs. Just recently, a Jay-Z track used samples from this tune (produced by the idiot Kanye West). Apparently, the instrumental from that Jay-Z song was used recently in a Chrysler 'Imported from Detroit' ad.
