Bobby was a song writer's song writer, a soulful singer in his own write, and an artist that helped many other artists rise to their potential- Aretha Franklin, Sam Cooke, The Rolling Stones and many more...
He grew up with the Gospel sounds and he and his brothers along with Sam Cooke toured together and made recordings of the genre. When they crossed over to Soul and R&B they stayed together and their voices can be heard on each other's records. Most famously is Sam Cooke's "Bring It On Home To Me" with Bobby Womack and Lou Rawls singing backup.
My pioneer buddy and I saw Bobby Womack and The O'Jays at the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles about the time his hit "That's The Way I Feel About Cha" was out.
Bobby found fame scoring movies such as "Jackie Brown" Quinten Tarantino's breakout hit with Pam Greer.
