    A true soul survivor for almost six decades and one of the all-time greatest of the genre. The original soul poet himself, Mr. Bobby Womack!

    Yes, it’s the original soul poet himself, Mr. _(artist-name)Bobby Womack_! Not to be confused with Womack & Womack, he first came to prominence in the 1950s as part of The Womack Brothers. The band later changed their name to The Valentinos and scored hits such as _(song-title)It’s All Over Now_ (as covered by _(artist-name)The Rolling Stones_ for their first ever No. 1 hit), while Womack played as a session guitarist on soul classics like _(artist-name)Aretha Franklin_’s _(song-title)Chain Of Fools_, and legendary albums such as _(artist-name)Sly & The Family Stone_’s _(song-title)There’s A Riot Goin’ On_. Womack’s solo career evolved with hits such as _(song-title)Woman’s Gotta Have It_, _(song-title)Lookin’ For a Love_, and the title theme for the film _(song-title)Across 110th Street_, peaking with early 80s albums _(album-title)The Poet_ and _(album-title)The Poet II_, and more hits like _(song-title)If You Think You’re Lonely Now_. One of soul music’s all-time greatest ever since, Bobby’s amazing mission took a new step in 2010 with a star performance on the _(artist-name)Gorillaz_’ _(song-title)Stylo_ alongside _(artist-name)Mos Def_. Not just a poet, but also a true soul survivor!
