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 .”
