I had a dear friend, in DC, John who is now passed. We both worked at the Washington Hospital Center. He and another friend at work, Bernadette, expanded my love for this era of music and everytime I hear Bobby sing, John is alive again and I can hear him joking and laughing one more time.

The day this man passed away, the song. California dreaming was playing in my head and the rain was falling down on me while the sun and blue skies were clear. I think he knew how much I appreciate his music for that to happen to me! At the time I didn't know he passed until the next day!

I feel stupid having 'slept' on him for long. Now I cannot get enough. Thanks for sharing :-)

I'm so sadden at this time it feel like. I lost a family member Bobby Womack, was my idol. I grew up in the same era as Bobby, he was born in 1944. I in 1947, So we had so much in common when it came down to our taste in music. I can remember at 14 yrs. I thought that. I was in love but when. I heard Mr. Bobby Womack, sang his love melodies songs, Like "IF YOU THINK YOU LONELY NOW" That made me think is this boy really worth my time cause. I really was In love at least I thought. I was just like if it was yesterday I still feel all of these years, listening too Bobby's music Has made me appreciate the real meaning of love. I like to extend my condolence too his family, may God, keep YOU Strong and know that you're not alone. R.I.P MR. BOBBY D WOMACK ♡♡♡☆

@jonathanhopper20266 күн бұрын
@@michaelb2388 My statement was clearly hyperbolic, but then you come with Pavarotti and Mercury? Pavarotti isn't even the best of the three tenors, and anyone who has listened to Caruso and Bjoring (who your boy emulated), wouldn't dare to put him above them. Are your choices the most well known "performers?" Yes, but very very few would put Mercury's voice, just voice over the likes of Sam Cooke, Stevie Wonder, and Otis Redding. I love Freddie Mercury, and as a showman, he may be the only one to rival Prince and Bowie, but best singer? Nah, I'll take my choices and about a dozen others over them. Have you heard of John Lennon or Al Green? Roger Daltrey or Barry White?

His voice has deteriorated so much over the years, listening to this,...this is about the worst Ive ever heard it. He lost all that power and strong soulful emotion in his voice. He is a shell of his former self. If u listen to his records from the 60s and 70s u know what I mean. My favorite album by him, is "Facts of Life" 1973. That is some of the best rhythm and blues soul music I ever heard and Ive heard a lot. Pure soul ,music.
