Oh, Bobby Blue is great! I love his stuff. Eric Clapton's signature song, "Farther On Up the Road" was originally Bland's song and it was co-written by Don Robey who managed Bland, Ace, Big Mama Thornton, Clarence Gatemouth Brown and others.

Because "Bang A Gong" has been redone a number of times and I have met some people who know the song but do not know who T. Rex is. I was wondering how widespread that is.
