Continued from page 18 recording the song in 2013 before Bland’ s passing. " We got a chance to record Bobby and we talked for an hour. I wanted to get insight on how he sings. He got inspiration from Aretha’ s dad [ preacher C. L. Franklin ] and the diction of Nat King Cole, class was in session. I used to sneak my transistor to listen to WVON at night and I’ d hear Bobby sing. Watching him record, I felt like I was in a dream.”

Committed to being a bridge to the blues from his father’ s generation to the other’ s that followed, there was a time when he was younger that Ronnie actually quit the blues.“ None of my friends were playing this music. They were playing sports. I was 10-years-old and I wanted to play basketball. It broke my dad’ s heart but he said ' OK.' He’ d come home from a gig, get up and take me to my game, play Saturday night and then get up Sunday to take me to my game, Then I saw Luther Allison at the Chicago Blues Fest. His son Bernard was up there and I had never seen anybody my age playing the blues. He came over to me and he said,’ I heard you play basketball. I play ball too but we have enough Michael Jordan ' s, we need more B. B. King’ s.” Ronnie returned to the blues and he believes that’ s also the direction of the industry in general.“ The blues will never die but it’ s in transition. People are getting back to the blues now because they are looking for the truth. With the economy dipping and the new president, people are searching for the truth. The blues tells the truth and it’ s a healer.”

Continued from page 38

Another extraordinary opportunity also occurred for Kennedy in 2008. No big deal, but he was almost the new singer for a the " new " Led Zeppelin! After the 2007 Zeppelin reunion at London’ s O2 Arena with Jimmy Page, Robert Plant, John Paul Jones and Jason Bonham( original drummer John Bonham’ s son), the three( minus Plant) wanted to do a little writing and jamming. And since he and Bonham were both in the Rock Star movie together, Kennedy got the call.

“ It’ ll probably be something people discuss when on my death bed – as I’ m taking my last breath and just savoring those moments!” Kennedy exclaims.“ Was it going to be called Led Zeppelin? No, but if it worked out it would have been a project with some other name. To even just sit in the same room with those guys for the week we did that is still hard to fathom.”
