Rock Hall Inductee Bobby Womack: R&B Legend, Friend of Rock Stars by Harvey Kubernik of Best Classic Bands

 


Womack first came to prominence in the 1950s as part of the Womack Brothers, a gospel group comprising his siblings Cecil, Harry, Curtis and Friendly. Impressed with the group, Sam Cooke encouraged them to come to Los Angeles, where he signed them to his SAR label. They made the transition from gospel to R&B when they recorded as the Valentinos,  scoring with “Lookin’ For A Love” and “It’s All Over Now,” written by Bobby and his sister-in-law Shirley Womack. The song was later covered by the Rolling Stones and produced by Andrew Loog Oldham.
