Saw Bobby Womack mid 90's, the Apollo, Manchester, spent ages talking, couldn't sing, a real disappointment, just about pulled off Harry hippie, which made it still worthwhile.
Gill Scot heron, similar era, first time didn't show, Crack I'll do that.,his band played for free and we're sensational, the midnight express ? I think they were called. Month later he did show the reshedueled gig, but was very dry and said nothing between the songs. Not what I expected, his sung perfectly but zero interaction with the crowd.
