Saturday Evening Thread: RIP Bobby Womack, The Poet

June 28, 2014 by Miranda 67 Comments

Another legend gone, but his music is timeless GROWN FOKE music. Bobby’s songs were not those weepy dreamy eyed love songs…and they weren’t those that were just a video fantasy..nope. His songs were for the GROWN-UPs. You didn’t need a video to get the visual for “If You Think You’re Lonely Now”! He gave it straight, no chaser.

Love Has Finally Come At Last w/Patti Labelle

This song, OMG…a favorite of mine! Its from jazz musician Wilton Felder’s “Secrets” album. Vocals are Bobby Womack and Alltrina Grayson – this song takes you to the river – shouting all the way.

No Matter How High I Get (I’ll Still Be Looking Up To You)

I believe he only made one video and this was it. This song was an instant classic if there ever was one – if for no other reason than this is the same man that married his close friend’s widow!

I Wish He Didn’t Trust Me So Much

No one talks to ya anymore in a song, break it all down in that “let me holla at ya” kind of way with words of wisdom for the youngins…a classic!

If You Think You’re Lonely Now
