Hello! You’re listening to Podcast and Blues. Today's topic is Bobby Bland Ain't No Love In The Heart Of The City.
Ain't No Love in the Heart of the City" is a 1974 R&B song written by Michael Price and Dan Walsh, and first recorded by Bobby "Blue" Bland for the album Dreamer.
While it is ostensibly a love song, some critics and fans have also heard it as a lament on urban poverty and hopelessness, also as a lament upon the struggle to achieve one’s goals in life in the absence of enternal support.
Well, I've heard Bobby Bland sing it, and I felt urban poverty and hopelessness and struggle to achieve. I see struggle today happening around me and on the news. It could be a love song too if you've lost someone that you love. Losing someone is just like losing everything.
Aint No Love In The Heart Of The City. It is a great song of feeling. It makes you think about the things that are going on in the world.
In the US, Bland scored a top ten hit on the Hot Soul Singles chart, where it peaked at #9, as well as peaking at #91 on the Hot 100.
