His follow up hit begins with a subtle layer of fatalistic horns. Though it's Bland, who we sadly lost in 2013 to little fanfare, whose vocals with a prominent crack in his voice that give an earthy quality to this song. Never a powerhouse vocalist full of screams and histrionics his gravely texture is the perfect amount of Blues, Gospel and Soul and he remains underrated to this day, along with this gem.

Bobby Blue Bland (1974) I Wouldn't Treat a Dog
Today's gem is a Soul classic by Bobby Bland that I've only just discovered, even though I've known of his more popular hit Ain't No Love for over five years, reviewed back in August and can be read here http://lost70sgems.blogspot.co.uk/2015/08/whitesnake-1978-aint-no-love-in-heart.html; this is just as good.
