“With me, it’s all about feeling…” – Bobby Womack
Bobby Womack has such an interesting life story. From beginning to end, his path led him to some of the highest of highs and lowest of lows. And through it all, he never hid what he was going through, he never seemed phony, he would just write about it in his music… This is how he would bare his soul. He was as soulful as you could get.
I think this is why I have such an appreciation and connection to his music, primarily, because he is a native of Ohio (Cleveland, to be exact), a fellow water sign (Pisces) and because he was just so real and honest within his music. He was a poet, a vessel used to create beautiful music and works of art that touch people at the core of their heart. The tone of Bobby’s voice alone pulled at that one heart string that you never even knew existed, and opens you up to a new level of music and love. The brother had a gift that was that deep.
Full of charm, unique style, a one-of-a-kind voice and that ever so sexy-warm smile, Bobby Womack is a vanguard of Black music. And if you ever want to understand a man, just turn on some Bobby Womack. “If You Think You’re Lonely Now”, “That’s The Way I Feel About Cha” and “Across 110th Street”, to name a few. And these songs will lead you to his soul, the soul of a man.
Rest in Peace ❤
