R.i.p
"We were behind on the album, so we had to do all nighters in the studio. My keyboardist was explaining it to his wife, and she started complaining about him not being home at night, so he got mad and said, 'If you think you're lonely now, wait until tonight!', and I looked up at him and said, 'What did you just say?'" - Bobby Womack RIP to an ALL TIME great.
You had no confirmation or link, and the particular story you posted had been reported as a hoax. This thread's story, however, is confirmed by his label, his sister, TMZ and Rolling Stone.
This style of and quality of singer is becoming more and more rare...Raw, gritty, uncompromising, non-mainstream r&b/blues storytellers. The kind of singers that are an uncut mix of gospel and the blues...
Otis Redding, Bobby Bland, Johnnie Taylor, Tyrone Davis, Latimore, Teddy Pendergrass - all gone...now Bobby Womack - one of the greatest legends we had left. The Brother sang straight from the marrow of his bones.
We're blessed to still have Al Green.
Gratefully,I believe Latimore is still living.
Glad you straightened it out.Gratefully,
I stand corrected.
How many of yall was just playing his music before you knew he passed
Ha! I see what you did there.Glad you straightened it out.
Sam Cooke finally is going to get his chance to beat his ass.
Glad you straightened it out.
