The album was released in 1987, by MCA ░░ Records. ░░ ░░ A veteran who paid his dues for over a decade before getting his shot at ░░ solo stardom, Bobby Womack persevered through tragedy and addiction to ░░ emerge as one of soul music's great survivors. Able to shine in the ░░ spotlight as a singer or behind the scenes as an instrumentalist and ░░ songwriter, Womack never got his due from pop audiences, but during the ░░ late '60s and much of the '70s, he was a consistent hitmaker on the R&B ░░ charts, with a high standard of quality control. His records were ░░ quintessential soul, with a bag of tricks learned from the likes of Sam ░░ Cooke, Wilson Pickett, and Sly Stone, all of whom Womack worked closely ░░ with at one time or another. Yet often, they also bore the stamp of ░░ Womack's own idiosyncratic personality, whether through a lengthy spoken ░░ philosophical monologue or a radical reinterpretation of a pop standard. ░░ An underrated guitarist, Womack helped pioneer a lean, minimalist ░░ approach similar to that of Curtis Mayfield, and was an early influence ░░ on the young Jimi Hendrix. Additionally, his songs have been recorded by ░░ numerous artists in the realms of both R&B and rock, and the best of them ░░ rank as all-time classics. ░░ ░░ Bobby Dwayne Womack was born in Cleveland on March 4, 1944. His ░░ upbringing was strict and religious, but his father Friendly also ░░ encouraged his sons to pursue music as he had (he sang and played guitar ░░ in a gospel group). In the early '50s, while still a child, Bobby joined ░░ his siblings Cecil, Curtis, Harry, and Friendly Jr. to form the gospel ░░ quintet the Womack Brothers. They were chosen to open a local show for ░░ the Soul Stirrers in 1953, where Bobby befriended lead singer Sam Cooke; ░░ following this break, they toured the country as an opening act for ░░ numerous gospel groups. When Cooke formed his own SAR label, he recruited ░░ the Womack Brothers with an eye toward transforming them into a crossover ░░ R&B act. Learning that his sons were moving into secular music, Friendly ░░ Womack threw them out of the house, and Cooke wired them the money to buy ░░ a car and drive out to his Los Angeles offices. The Womack Brothers made ░░ several recordings for SAR over 1960 and 1961, including a few gospel ░░ sides, but Cooke soon convinced them to record R&B and renamed them the ░░ Valentinos. In 1962, they scored a Top Ten hit on the R&B charts with ░░ "Lookin' for a Love," and Cooke sent them on the road behind James Brown ░░ to serve a boot-camp-style musical apprenticeship. Bobby eventually ░░ joined Cooke's backing band as guitarist. The Valentinos' 1964 single ░░ "It's All Over Now," written by Bobby, was quickly covered by the Rolling ░░ Stones with Cooke's blessing; when it became the Stones' first U.K. ░░ number one, Womack suddenly found himself a rich man. ░░ ░░ Cooke's tragic death in December 1964 left Womack greatly shaken and the ░░ Valentinos' career in limbo. Just three months later, Womack married ░░ Cooke's widow, Barbara Campbell, which earned him tremendous ill will in ░░ the R&B community; many viewed him as a shady opportunist looking to cash ░░ in on Cooke's legacy, especially since Campbell was significantly older ░░ than Womack. According to Womack, he was initially motivated to look ░░ after Campbell in an unstable time, not to tarnish the memory of a ░░ beloved mentor. Regardless, Womack found himself unable to get his solo ░░ career rolling in the wake of the scandal; singles for Chess ("I Found a ░░ True Love") and Him ("Nothing You Can Do") were avoided like the plague ░░ despite their quality. The Valentinos cut a couple of singles for Chess ░░ in 1966, "What About Me" and "Sweeter Than the Day Before," which also ░░ failed to make much of a splash. To make ends meet, Womack became a ░░ backing guitarist, first landing a job with Ray Charles; he went on to ░░ make a valuable connection in producer Chips Moman, and appeared often at ░░ Moman's American Studio in Memphis, as well as nearby Muscle Shoals, ░░ Alabama. In the process, Womack appeared on classic recordings by the ░░ likes of Joe Tex, King Curtis, and Aretha Franklin (Lady Soul), among ░░ others. He recorded singles for Keymen and Atlantic without success, but ░░ became one of Wilson Pickett's favorite songwriters, contributing the R&B ░░ Top Ten hits "I'm in Love" and "I'm a Midnight Mover" (plus 15 other ░░ tunes) to the singer's repertoire. ░░ ░░ Womack had been slated to record a solo album for Minit, but had given ░░ Pickett most of his best material, which actually wound up getting his ░░ name back in the public eye in a positive light. In 1968, he scored the ░░ first charting single of his solo career with "What Is This?" and soon ░░ hit with a string of inventively reimagined pop covers -- "Fly Me to the ░░ Moon," "California Dreamin'," and "I Left My Heart in San Francisco," the ░░ former two of which reached the R&B Top 20. A songwriting partnership ░░ with engineer Darryl Carter resulted in the R&B hits "It's Gonna Rain," ░░ "How I Miss You Baby," and "More Than I Can Stand" over 1969-1970. A ░░ series of label absorptions bumped Womack up to United Artists in 1971, ░░ which proved to be the home of his greatest solo success; in the ░░ meantime, he contributed the ballad "Trust Me" to Janis Joplin's ░░ masterpiece Pearl, and the J. Geils Band revived "Lookin' for a Love" for ░░ their first hit. He also teamed up with jazz guitarist Gabor Szabo on the ░░ LP High Contrast, which debuted Womack's composition "Breezin'" (which, ░░ of course, became a smash for George Benson six years later). Most ░░ importantly, however, Womack played guitar on Sly & the Family Stone's ░░ There's a Riot Goin' On, a masterpiece of darkly psychedelic funk that ░░ would have an impact on Womack's own sound and sense of style. ░░ ░░ Womack issued his first UA album, Communication, in 1971, which kicked ░░ off a string of excellent releases that ran through the first half of the ░░ decade. In addition to several of Womack's trademark pop covers, the ░░ album also contained the original ballad "That's the Way I Feel About ░░ 'Cha," which climbed all the way to number two on the R&B chart and ░░ became his long-awaited breakout hit. The 1972 follow-up Understanding ░░ spawned Womack's first chart-topper, "Woman's Gotta Have It," co-written ░░ with Darryl Carter and stepdaughter Linda (Womack divorced Barbara ░░ Campbell in 1970). The follow-up "Harry Hippie," a gently ironic tribute ░░ to Womack's brother, also hit the R&B Top Ten. Later that year, Womack ░░ scored the blaxploitation flick Across 110th Street; the title cut was ░░ later revived in the 1998 Quentin Tarantino film Jackie Brown. Released ░░ in 1973, The Facts of Life had an R&B number two hit in a rearrangement ░░ of the perennial "Nobody Knows You When You're Down and Out," and the ░░ following year's Lookin' for a Love Again found Womack revisiting his ░░ Valentinos hit; the re-recorded "Lookin' for a Love" became his second ░░ number one R&B single and his only Top Ten hit on the pop charts. ░░ Follow-up single "You're Welcome, Stop on By" made the R&B Top Five. ░░ ░░ Womack was by this time a seasoned veteran of the rock & roll lifestyle, ░░ having befriended the likes of the Rolling Stones, the late Janis Joplin, ░░ and Sly Stone. After his brother Harry was murdered by a jealous ░░ girlfriend in 1974 (in Bobby's own apartment), the drug usage began to ░░ take a more serious turn. Womack scored further R&B Top Ten hits with ░░ 1975's "Check It Out" and 1976's "Daylight," the latter of which seemed ░░ to indicate a longing for escape from the nonstop partying that often ░░ masked serious depression. Despite Womack's new marriage to Regina Banks, ░░ the song was a sign that things were coming to a head. Womack pushed UA ░░ into letting him do a full album of country music, something he'd always ░░ loved but which the label regarded as commercially inadvisable ░░ (especially under the title Womack reportedly wanted to use: Step Aside, ░░ Charley Pride, Give Another Nigger a Try). They eventually relented, and ░░ when BW Goes C&W met with predictably minimal response, UA palmed the ░░ increasingly difficult Womack off on Columbia. A pair of albums there ░░ failed to recapture his commercial momentum or reinvent him for the disco ░░ age, and he moved to Arista for 1979's Roads of Life, which appeared not ░░ long after the sudden death of his infant son. ░░ ░░ At a low point in his life, Womack took a bit of time off from music to ░░ gather himself. He appeared as a guest vocalist on Jazz Crusader Wilton ░░ Felder's 1980 solo album, Inherit the Wind, singing the hit title track, ░░ and subsequently signed with black entrepreneur Otis Smith's independent ░░ Beverly Glen label. His label debut, 1981's The Poet, was a critically ░░ acclaimed left-field hit, rejuvenating his career and producing a number ░░ three R&B hit with "If You Think You're Lonely Now." Unfortunately, money ░░ disputes soured the relationship between Womack and Smith rather quickly. ░░ The Poet II was delayed until 1984, and featured several duets with Patti ░░ LaBelle, including another number three R&B hit, "Love Has Finally Come ░░ at Last." Beverly Glen released a final LP culled from Womack's previous ░░ sessions, Someday We'll All Be Free, in 1985, by which time the singer ░░ had already broken free and signed with MCA. Another hit with Wilton ░░ Felder, "(No Matter How High I Get) I'll Still Be Looking Up to You," ░░ appeared that year, and his label debut, So Many Rivers, produced a Top ░░ Five R&B hit in "I Wish He Didn't Trust Me So Much." Released in 1986, ░░ Womagic reunited Womack with Chips Moman, and he also backed the Rolling ░░ Stones on their remake of "Harlem Shuffle." By the following year he'd ░░ christened himself The Last Soul Man, which proved to be his final ░░ recording for MCA. ░░ ░░ In the following years, Womack made high-profile returns to the music ░░ business only sporadically. Released in 1994, Resurrection was recorded ░░ for Ron Wood's Slide label and featured an array of guest stars including ░░ Wood, Keith Richards, Rod Stewart, and Stevie Wonder. In 1999, he ░░ fulfilled a longstanding promise to his father (who passed away in 1981) ░░ by delivering his first-ever gospel album, Back to My Roots. While he ░░ continued to perform throughout the following decade, his guest ░░ appearance on the 2010 Gorillaz album Plastic Beach seemed like a return. ░░ A couple years later, after being the subject of TV One's Unsung ░░ documentary series, he released The Bravest Man in the Universe, a ░░ collaboration with the XL label's Richard Russell and Gorillaz's Damon ░░ Albarn. However, Womack had experienced a number of health challenges in ░░ his latter years, and he died in June 2014 at the age of 70. ░░ ░░ https://play.google.com/store/music/album?id=Bagcn4mxxzprz4fklkrrsxjfyna ░░ ░░█ ░░███ ░█ ░░░░██ █▓█ ████░ ░░░░░██ y o o v e e y o o █████ █████ ░░░░░░██ g o t t h e ▒████░ ██▒▒██ ░░░░░░░█ ░ ██▓██ ▓█▒██ ░░░░░░░█ ███ ███ ███ ███ ███ ████ ▒▓███ ▒███ ░░░░░░░█ ░█ █░█ █░█ █░█ █░█ ░███████ ████░ ░███ ░░░░░░░█ ░███░███░█ █░███░███ █████████▒ █████ ██ ░░░░░░░█ ░█ ░█ █░█ █░█ ░░░█ ██████████████ █████ █ ░░░░░░██ ░█ ░█ █░█ █░█ ░█ ██████████████████ ████▓ ░░░░░██ ░█ ░█ █░█ █░█ ░█ ████████████████████▒ ░░░░██ ░█ ░█ █░█ █░█ ░█ ▓██████▒▒▒▒███████░ ░░░██ ░█ ░█ █░█ █░█ ░█ ▓█████▒███████████ ░░░█ ░█ ░█ █░█ █░█ ░█ █████▒▒░████████ ░░░█ ░█ ░█ █░█ █░█ ░█ ██▓██▒██▓███▒ ░░░█ ░█ ░█ █░█ █░█ ░░░█ ██████████ ▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄ ░░░█ ░█ ░█ █░███░█ ░███ ▒███████ /─────────────────────────\ ░░░██ ███ ░| shouts 2 all the groups |░ ░░░░██ ████ ░| putting out |░ ░░░░░██ █████ ░| quality music |░ ░░░░░░███ ████▒ \─────────────────────────/ ░░░░░░░▓▓█████████████▒ ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
