Just read the tread about the Bobby and Patti LaBelle track and also remember recently someone on another tread said he just didn't get all the fuss about Womack. So lets convert all the non-believers

A one artist tread could be thin but in this case I sujest not. Let be having you fav tracks, sound files, and memories of see him, hearing tracks played out etc.

Let the conversion begin. God with a guitar on one hand, and a man with a dark side.

I'll kick it off with a few tracks

Makes me feel all sort of Stafford

Bobby's probably my all time fave Soul man , here's a personal fave ""Only Survivor " from his " So many rivers " set on MCA . Probably one of only a few Soul records to feature a banjo , saw him sing this live at Hammersmith Odeon 1985 - unforgettable !!! Best ,Eddie

Love the lyrics to this - so melancholy. Great piece of music!

This is probably my favourite Bobby Womack record [ along with Harry Hippie ] . Millie Jackson's version on her epic " Caught Up " set is also superb . Best ,Eddie

Sorry to say Dave that I went to see him live a couple of years ago at Hammersmith and I was a tad diappointed.....guess I was there for the 60s stuff and he didn't really oblige.

I haven't seen do any of that in 30 years and I've seen about five times.

Right , don't laugh ,I think this is brilliant , Bobby's take on " Everybody's gone to the moon " .Great strings and you can hear the Sam Cooke influence in his awesome vocals .From the superb " My Perscription " set on Minit .Best ,Eddie

How Could You Break My Heart 1979 arista

So Many Class Tunes from the Man!

UP THERE for me has to be - Give It Up, Something For My Head, How Could You Break My Heart. etc, etc, But the best track IMHO has to be the sublime "I'm Through Trying To Prove My Love For You" taken of the Facts of Life album.................Pure Class and then some!

Bully!

Also from the " My Perscription " album a great slice of crossover soul perfection.....

I'd not heard this until recently when Sean Hampsey brought it to my attention - as opposed to the Prince Philip Mitchell version - I agree with Sean - Bobby's version is superior.

If I remember rightly both of these tracks were on the "Roads of Life" LP which I got rid of a few years ago ( big mistake). Top drawer stuff and, in my opinion, an artist that has a body of work that most people should find something in to enjoy.

I saw him at the International in Manchester in the early 90's - probably about 300 in attendance. They literally had to drag him from the stage at about 1.00am in the morning after 3 hours of his full repertoire. Possibly the best gig I have been to!

More Than I Can Stand - bobby womack - minit

Love Bobby in this mood I do!

Fcking brilliant, but prefer the live version (just) with "the preacher" bit first.

If I was to chose one and sadly I can't up load it, it would be "Take Me" on UK Minit. Awesome "crossover".

Great thread. I of course, have others but gotta work.

For anyone who has`nt got the " best of the poets " cd , its a fantastic triple comp of the poets lp`s & also has a third cd of studio stuff & different takes on a number of tracks, some great solo stuff of bobby just playing guitar or singing at the piano.
