Bobby Womack Close To You

Bobby Womack Close To You

[@colonelfountain7347]

One of the best song story tellers of all time!

[@hannulore]

Ich liebe Bobby Womacks Stimme! Erinnerungen an eine wunderschöne, unvergessliche Zeit........

[@jayjrockk3030]

I think I play this about 50 times. Back in the days Thanks Bobby God bless

[@anitanance5000]

I still play it 2021

[@kristinmcarthur4915]

I'm 32 and i grew up on Bobby, Al, Stevie, Teddy and others but they are my absolute favorites. Sometimes i feel I was born in the wrong decade. Music was real, people were more genuine, and not afraid to be free in who they were and create something new. I get lost in my own world listening to the music of the great soul legends.

[@reggaeone]

One of the most important songwriters and musicians in history. So glad I got to see Bobby Womack in concert.

[@timekaschannel]

This brings tears to my eyes because it's just that beautiful and it goes beyond the realms of this planet.

[@shangooya2522]

[@ConsciousGame6255]

RIP poet! One of the greatest R&B artist of our time.

[@brendabradley271]

What a way to relax feet up a drink and close your eyes and listen to Bobby xx

[@am3155]

This is pure genius. Bobby absolutely owns this song.

[@karenmarks1997]

Miss you, Bobby Womack. No one can mimick your sound. One of the greats!!!

[@patrickadjete8547]

Rest in peace. I love your music, thank you so much.

[@PhilCherry3]

I'm so glad I found this Bobby Womack cover of "Close to You!" This is an absolutely beautiful & deeply soulful rendition. It stands as its own classic! R.I.P Poet!

[@beats4life971]

It's not a cover....🤐.

[@PhilCherry3]

@@beats4life971 It is a cover. Bobby Womack was not the original lyricist nor the original singer. I believe this Womack version of the song was done in the mid-1970s, well after The Carpenters made it famous in 1970. Karen Carpenter's crystal clear voice powered this song to the top of the charts. The song was released multiple times by different singers in the 1960s-even before the Carpenters. To me Bobby Womack's interpretation of the song is an instant classic in its own rights. His phrasing; the places he chose to emphasize or soften; he expression of raw deep-love emotions is to me the essence of why he was called "The Poet."

[@godsun798]

🙏🎇🏆

[@godsun798]

🙏🏆🌟

[@PhilCherry3]

He was absolutely masterful in this rendition. I miss Bobby Womack’s artistry more and more with each passing year since he left us!

[@beverlyharris9859]

[@EnryMusica]

After many years, not getting married to the love of my life and after many adventures not getting married at all, this is definitely the song of my life. All the best for all of you people, many blessings for everyone.

[@pnojazz]

I feel so privileged to have grown up listening hearing Bobby Womack fresh and new on LP or 8-track. What a memory. And here's a shout out to all my generation, we're all closer in our memories of the times that were. Peace.

[@danieln.siskron8980]

Thank You Bobby W. for all of the Beautiful Inspiring Songs you gave us .. I Love your Music and won't forget you.

[@mikej681]

When we lost this Brother I feel that we lost "The Last Soul Man". Many younger people have NO IDEA what he was alluding to during his classic monologue/" rap" at the start of this classic. Rest in Peace, Soul Brother, for I know you're up in Heaven with your good friend Sam Cooke...

[@professormause]

+mike j Rap ? To many that means nothing more than swearing over stolen grooves !

[@billbilly5538]

You're absolutely right the last soul man

THANK U BOBBY 4 EVERYTHING👍👍👍

[@mikelikeike4382]

Songs like this reminds me of growing up in the south as a kid and the grown folks will be having a good time drinking, playing cards, cooking a pig and what not, while the kids are running around minding their business playing games and having a good time. We have lost our way nowadays. Kids dont even know what real fun is anymore.

[@ItiyahIsrael]

This is among my 'favorites' performed by Bobby :) I LOVE to hear him play his guitar on here!!!!! He just takes this song to another level with his guitar and 'SOULFUL' singing interpretation! It's totally awesome!!! This is classic!!!!!!!!! I love you Bobby!

Rest In Peace to one of my favorite soul singers of all the time. Highly underrated and for shame, because this man here is a true talent... and Im only 34- my parents exposed me to real music at an early age and he will be forever missed!

[@weotalks2810]

Bobby was not UNDERATED,HE IS CONSIDERED A LEGEND IN SOUL MUSIC & GOSPEL..HAD MANY HITS...BOBBY WOMACK IS NOT UNSUNG.

[@dugoodsspotlights428]

Talk to me through your music Bobby. It's working even that you've been gone for a long time, I still like it... Yep, and others do too

[@amd77j]

Man, the first licks of that guitar in this gem almost brings tears to my eyes. It is so real, soulful, and powerful. I grew up in the Deep South years ago listening to my parents and older relatives playing this genuinely fantastic music. They'd sit around and talk about current world affairs. Their conversations were so DEEP as well as the music. Man, Bobby's music was perfect since he's always been "real, not commercial". Thank God I have those experiences!!!

[@jincks277]

[@MrDutchHolland]

When Burt & Hal wrote this, they wrote a song that anyone could perform! But Mr.Womack takes this this song to a somewhere very special, somewhere only he can can take it.

[@cnottagejr]

i remember the first time i heard this song i was leaving memphis tennessee to go to miami in 1978 me and my 6 sons and i met a woman listening to this song while we was flying to miami. after awhile with her i got close to her, we got married in 1979 and had 4 kids. i met bobby womack in west palm beach and he sang this same song at our wedding. i love that song and i have a reason to say so

[@daysturn1971]

"and them engineeeeeeeers! LOL, Bobby!

[@100AmazingFacts]

Though the Carpenters were good; can't do it real justice without Black soul! Sing it Bobby! We make the best music on the planet, especially the Black American. Blues, Jazz, Soul, R&B, Rock n' Roll and Positive Hip Hop! Must be the melanin! Just saying though!
