This is the first biography of a blues master whose stylings influenced almost every form of twentieth-century popular music. Bobby 'Blue' Bland's silky smooth vocal style and captivating live performances helped propel the blues out of Delta juke joints and into urban clubs and upscale venues. Until now, his story has never been told in a book-length biography. "Soul of the Man" relates how Bland, along with longtime friend B.B. King, and other members of the loosely knit group who called themselves the Beale Streeters, forged a new electrified blues style in Memphis in the early 1950s. This biography traces Bland's life and recording career, from his earliest work and first big hit in 1957, "Farther Up the Road". It goes on to tell the story of how Bland scored hit after hit, placing more than sixty songs on the R&B charts throughout the 1960s, '70s, and '80s, and was later inducted into both the Rock and Roll and Blues Foundation's Hall of Fame.
