Bobby Womack-not Yet Coverted


Recommended Posts

Just read the tread about the Bobby and Patti LaBelle track and also remember recently someone on another tread said he just didn't get all the fuss about Womack. So lets convert all the non-believers :thumbsup:

A one artist tread could be thin but in this case I sujest not. Let be having you fav tracks, sound files, and memories of see him, hearing tracks played out etc.

Let the conversion begin. God with a guitar on one hand, and a man with a dark side.

I'll kick it off with a few tracks

Bobby's probably my all time fave Soul man , here's a personal fave ""Only Survivor " from his " So many rivers " set on MCA . Probably one of only a few Soul records to feature a banjo , saw him sing this live at Hammersmith Odeon 1985 - unforgettable !!! Best ,Eddie

Love the lyrics to this - so melancholy. Great piece of music!

So Many Class Tunes from the Man!

UP THERE for me has to be - Give It Up, Something For My Head, How Could You Break My Heart. etc, etc, But the best track IMHO has to be the sublime "I'm Through Trying To Prove My Love For You" taken of the Facts of Life album.................Pure Class and then some!

Bully! :thumbsup:

Something for my head - bobby womack - columbia

I'd not heard this until recently when Sean Hampsey brought it to my attention - as opposed to the Prince Philip Mitchell version - I agree with Sean - Bobby's version is superior.

Good thread Dave!

..the stunning (imho) flip to "How Could You Break My Heart"

If I remember rightly both of these tracks were on the "Roads of Life" LP which I got rid of a few years ago ( big mistake). Top drawer stuff and, in my opinion, an artist that has a body of work that most people should find something in to enjoy.

I saw him at the International in Manchester in the early 90's - probably about 300 in attendance. They literally had to drag him from the stage at about 1.00am in the morning after 3 hours of his full repertoire. Possibly the best gig I have been to!

More Than I Can Stand - bobby womack - minit

Love Bobby in this mood I do! yes.gif

Fcking brilliant, but prefer the live version (just) with "the preacher" bit first.

If I was to chose one and sadly I can't up load it, it would be "Take Me" on UK Minit. Awesome "crossover".

Great thread. I of course, have others but gotta work.

Regards Alan
