I hope he gets more appreciation in death than he did in life. A lot of older cats really never forgave him for that Sam Cooke shyt. They tried to blackball him, but his shyt was too fire to deny.


Story on Sam Cooke stuff?

Shame that this happened, he was definitely one of the best from the soul era.

The act was eventually noticed by Cooke. The rhythm and blues legend behind the topical "A Change Is Gonna Come" signed the Womack siblings to his label, SAR Records, in 1960, and changed the act's name to the Valentinos. Womack's career as an in-demand session musician began when he was drafted to play guitar in Cooke's band, but his career was also marked by turb

Shortly after Cooke was shot and killed in Los Angeles in 1964, Womack married his widow, Barbara, considered a scandal by some in the music business.


He was a very soulful talented singer.

The trifecta of Curtis Mayfield, Issac hayes, and Bobby Womack. Samples galore.
