Peter99 Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 It seems that Cecil Womack passed away earlier this week in Africa where he had been living with Linda (Womack & Womack) for the last few years. Both Bobby & Curtis have confirmed his death & Curtis has stated that Cecil wants his ashes spread over a river near where they have been living. All 3 Womack brothers were in the early line-up of the Valentinos and after Bobby went solo, the other brothers kept the group going (though I'm unsure which of them sang lead on "Sweeter Than The Day Before". Cecil was married to Mary Wells & they had children together (who live in the US). ....... Another singer has left us... RIP Cecil. Sad news Roburt. Thanks for the information - you are very knowledgeable about lots of stuff. Sounds like Cecil and Linda really returned to their roots - quite poignant.

Mike Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 I have just found out that an earlier version of this news item was posted on the southern soul yahoo group at the below link https://launch.groups...l/message/73096 am only just aware of this and it seems that the author of this news item had just passed on the words without any mention/credit or any sort of acknowledgement to the original source as this site owner I like to offer my apoligies to anyone involved with the thread on the southern soul forum and the site/group itself do insist that credit/links to the actual source etc should be made when using info from elsewhere as per normal internet practice the original article will be edited to reflect this and action will be taken to try and ensure that this doesn't happen again Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
