BOBBY WOMACK – TRIBUTE Sadly we have lost one of the all time greatest Soul Singers , Bobby Womack at the age of 70. He was partly responsible for getting myself and many others into Soul music over 40 years ago. In the 60’s he was known as a Valentino, in the 70’s The Preacher, 80’s The Poet, 90’s The Last Soul Man and the 10’s Bravest man in the universe. Regardless of the tag, Bobby Womack was Soul personified. His Gritty Voice could express Emotions and feelings like no one else, and he has brought endless hours of...

For these reasons more serious minded Jazz musicians and critics tended to regard his work less favourably than some of his contemporaries - god forbid that Jazz should be enjoyable! He made his name...
