When music was literally everything. I wasn't born in this era but this what I grew up listening to. Music like this just makes me feel so at peace

[@posima8570]

Britney Wilson I did not know he sang the original version. I know the KCi or Jojo version and love that one

[@SonicBoomC98]

Yeah people don't appreciate great music from the artist from the 60s to the early 90s. Even when great artist continued to put out great music people preferred the crap that wasn't near as good. Not that there aren't great artist now, but I know there have been plenty of artist who should not have been outselling some of these older artist later stuff.

[@mrstanbmw]

he wrote the smash by Wilson Pickett I'm in love you can hear his guitar work on that song.

This is one of my favorite songs of all times, I listen to it several times a week

[@malford9991]

Me too

[@esquibelle]

Rest your beautiful soul Bobby. This is one of the greatest songs ever, and you wrote a lot of great ones. This was a show that was a tribute to Richard Pryor, and this was one of his favorite songs. :)

[@shawnjermele6357]

When you could sing scream be mean and still be in key at the same dam time lol!

[@CrazyL95]

new music and artist aren't the same any more its all so flat with no feeling and as you said everyone sings about very materialistic things. this slow jam is one of a kind i don't know how to describe what makes it so amazing it just is bobby womack sings it with such passion it just works perfectly. i've heard numerous songs sung with great passion its just something about this song

[@slice39]

This was a show honoring Richard Pryor, and Bobby Womack was one of Richard's favorites; you can tell Richard is really enjoying Bobby's performance. I guess with all those wives Pryor had this song hits home for him. Thanks for posting.

[@JesusRunsMyHouse]

Bobby Womack wasn't no slouch in the marriage department either now. Id have gladly helped him out with that legacy!

[@bigpoppa3866]

If you don't know what soul music is than this is it!!! God help me!

Wow!!!!!!!!!! This man is awesome!!!!!!!!!!! "The original OG"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@whatconniesaid]

Bobby's performance was a part of a tribute to Richard Pryor who was being honored that night. Richard passed away shortly thereafter.

[@Iammricoflly]

he passed away after?

[@denisemitchell8477]

+Rico James yes shortly after Bobby was his favorite performer he sang for him Richard so humble it's here's somewhere

[@Spunky1991]

Not true. This is from 1991. It was a TV special party for Richard Pryor. Richard Pryor died in 2005 and was confined to a wheelchair at the end of his life.

[@phillyeagles1388]

I just dedicated this song to my wife who is my closest friend. She doesn't know nothing about black soul music but we are learning and we are representing Colorado Springs Colorado. And I want this song played at our future wedding.💯

[@xavierv6877]

@@phillyeagles1388 not sure this is the best wedding song lol it’s about a person warning their significant other that if they think they’re lonely now wait until tonight when I leave

i am so glad they have videos of the backbone of music, there names can never be erased, people can say Oh! he can sing, but to hear it and see it and feel the moment is another room of soul.

Bobby, there are very few performers that sound this good live; especially today. Your voice is a blessing to all of us. Some folks have posted that K-Ci & Jojo is the better version. I will not say which one is my favorite, but lord, can they sound as good as you do live. Both are beautiful. Mercy mercy.

Hi ANGELS KISSES....you are one of those rare people that could wear rags while singing and still come out on top. I think that you have covered the alphabet from A-Z in all of these years of singing. You are like a mailman....always bringing us words through songs that uplift, heal,laughter, focus (or as you said,"the word is...pay attention"), direction, making wise decisions, don't forget our family and so many more. Bye for now ANGELS KISSES.

One of my most favorite artist of all time, the incomparable Bobby Womack.

This song, has defined my musical life as a 23 year old. First seeing K-Ci Hailey from Jodeci performing it in Melbourne when i was 16 years old..... to now, when in 24 hours i will be seeing this great man perform at the Hamer Hall in Melbourne. Hopefully this is part of the set list!!!
