Bobby Womack - Woman's Gottta Have It (live)

[dj7760]

im 15 and i listen to music like this.... rather than the bs on the radio

[jmillzz2]

I don't know if anyone would agree with me, but James Taylor does a nice laid-back version of this tune. Obviously Bobby's is best though, brings the real power out of it. Amazing tune.

[janicerosen]

do it, bobby... show the kids how to really do it.

[bigcatloans]

None finer... You know that's right.

[themaxxxman1]

[treadlightlynow]

Love everyone in this " integrated "  Jam, that was a BIG beautiful & meaningful theme back post civil rights. Alot of people forget just how hard that struggle was but you can see just in Bobby's band here , the man is living the dream... & the theme for real. Just noticed that bad little Timbale player at the end , amazing jam...one of the best .

[treadlightlynow]

The Song is about "TRUTH" ...that's why they call it Gospel folks . Any women out there that disagree? ;o)

[Leah9272]

[amd77j]

Grown folks music. Used to go to those night clubs in the South back in the day. Women would be looking as good as I don't know what. Smoke filling the club. And then the band would start playing this and the whole dance floor would fill up. Men holding their women close and whispering all kinds of lies in their ears. LOL. Yeah, those were the days....

[sherrosgirl]

@amd77j Ain't nothing like southern living!

[mjjcng8958]

bobby womack is in the rock n roll hall of fame. praise to the General

That big, beautiful soul band sound at 1:41 with the horns is missing from today's music.

[shakira3443]

[Sangria3]

I love Bobby Womack!!! One of the greatest story tellers thru music of all times. I was a receptionist at a local radio station in New Orleans and he came to visit and we took a picture together. I lost that picture to Hurricane Katrina. I still have memories of seeing him in concert. Thanks for posting this one.

[Bealestreetplayer]

I absolutely hate this song!!!! I would rather play mustang sally 100 times in a row than perform this.....song!!

[RUDOLPHLYRICS]

[Bealestreetplayer]

it's worse than the sound of cats mating. It's on my set list and I hate this sucker with a passion!!!! Dancin to it makes me look like I am on a small boat and I am drunk!!! there is no beat no rythem, no soul to this song. The lyrics don't match the music, it is just about as horrible a song as they get. Nobody can dance to this song. UGH!!! I can't express my hatred for this song!!!lol!!

[Baddscorpio]

Sang Bobby!

[pichipachu]

[luvbugg1975]

[RustySacks]

[sharonanony]

WHITE WOMEN ARE THE MOST FLAGRANT RAPISTS IN THE OPEN IN AMERICA OF TEENAGERS.

and women in general rape young males and get away with it.

SO STOP ALWAYS SPECULATING ABOUT SOME BLACK MALE RAPING. WHEN WHITE WOMEN IS RAPING THEIR STUDENTS AND GETTING REWARDED FOR IT.

[Neweddy24]

@sharonanony LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

[lonnayu]

MAN THIS BAND IS AWESOME

[ohern66]

[208005278]

BOBBY YOUR THE GREATEST!!!!!!!!!!

[zelliebean0528]

This dude has been bringin' it for years. Great stuff!!!!

[jrjacques]

Cool!

[slayerdogg]

I have the mp3 of this show. It is a very good show from England. Paul Young sings Stop on By with Bobby. I never knew this concert was on video. My questions are, where did you get this from ? and do you have the complete show ?. If anyone reading this would like to share the complete performance, please message me or post it here on YouTube. All Bobby Womack fans would highly appricate it.

Thanks,

SD

[wickedgrin]

Great stuff, although I kinda like the Neville Brothers version more!!

[Neville20006]

Yeah me and my bro we bummed this good

[niquag8]

[mariawilliams63]

[djdredwhitehead]

when was this recorded

were was this recorded

Bobby looks good for his age

and sounds good too

[386bigDee]

on bet win bet on jazz stared!!! back in 94'

[CapitaineNemo]

Is the guy on the left playing an EWI?

[awoosoul]

STOP if you can't appreciate a great artist then get the HELL out of the way and let the many music lovers here enjoy a true classic soul singer without your negative preaching. All you're talking about is speculation instead of enjoying the music you self-righteous,holier-than-tho­u no-talent wannabe. It kills me how these people can disbarrage and demean great artists based on rumour and innuendo. Bobby Womack has brought so much joy to so many people simply by pouring his heart out in song.

[devans1817]

he wrote this in his bok about the under age girl its not a made up story. if you think thats ok then there must be something wrong with fuck his musical talent!

[donmagicjuan1000]

@devans1817 While I can't say what happened is okay the age difference between Bobby and this girl was eight years. While the girl was too young: you make it sound like he was old enough to be her father which clearly is not the case. The mother was many years older than Bobby at least 13 or more. I could not find her date of birth. From what I read this had to be a very difficult time for Bobby! Married to a woman to try & do the right thing for her and the shit turned out all wrong!!!!!!!!

[devans1817]

book

[Jameela90]

why isn[t he in jail

[Biz2fem]

I'm hoping he really didn't fool around with an under-age cos that has killed it for me.I see no pleasure that a man or even woman should derive from getting it on with a child (male or female). Anyone like that is a complete scum of the earth. So pls tell me he didn't DO IT!

[sheshe0]

Man you got to stay on your P's and Q's cuz if you don't that woman you could easily loose!

[oleskool61]

I know they got to have it, that's why I stay in business and don't trust any of them.

Great Song Mr. Womack with your cheating Ass.

[Shellydelite]

How can anyone not love this Man music can we say rewind to the days when love music made you feel alive in love

[Shellydelite]

Bobby our Men got to have it too!

[oldskoolgirl54]

I just want Bobby to go on tour ASAP.

[devans1817]

he sings great when he not having sex with underage females like sam cooks daughter, ask him about that scar on his head?

[justintf]

What does that have to do with this performance? !!!!!NOTHING!!!! Go get some business and leave other people's business alone!!!!

[devans1817]

what a idiot , sam cooks widow found out he was having sex with her 14 yr old daughter and fired a shot bobby grazing his head and almost killing him. i dont need to get some business of my own! why dont you get off of bobbys nuts and find you a woman punk!

[tummielvr]

if he was having sex with anyone's 14 year old daughter, he deserves to be shot

[Marcia5Norf1]

So..your telling me that Bobby was sleeping with Sam Cooks daughter..I'm lost for words.

[wisepk007]

No he married her after Sam Cooke died .. Bobby sanged backup for Sam. And yes Bobby's brother married Sam's daughter.

[veeseee128]

@wisepk007 who cares? ancient history.

[wisepk007]

@veeseee128 I was clearing up the false information that was out there sweetie. They are still married as far as I know so obviously they believed in their vows.

[mytheropy]

Sam Cook was a known womanizer. He really got around. His wife was wonderful to deal with him as he was. My sisters hung with him back in the day and they were young girls at the time. Everybody wanted to be near Sam and RC Cook. But most musicians no matter who they are/were walk the same path. Look at Mick Jagger.

[loosestudios]

comment post

are just that if that having underage sex is what he doing then somebody can post it

[gittahfiend]

Rusty"rug"Hamilton on keyboards

[jonken20]

A legend of time... what a great track .. TY

[GANOMUSIC]

oh yeaaahhhh!!perfect!!!!!!!!!!!!­!

[samkalter]

WItness here!THANKS 4 Posting.

[Shellydelite]

Man these Old School singers told their stories through music in a way that made you feel every word they said...Bobby deserves more recognition then he's been given he is among the greats

[bigreef2007]

The singers of the 80,90s got their style from these old school Icons. KC from Jodeci patterns his style (voice) from Bobby Womack. Aaronn Hall(Guy) got his style from (Gap Band) Charlie Wilson. Jaheim sounds like Teddy P. Glen Lewis sounds like Stevie W. and Kem sounds lik Al Jarreau.

[neytrena84]

this is my song

[freein2339]

Great song...

[ebonyember]

I'll be witness for sure. LOL

Awesome,I love it!

[womanlybassplayer]

OMG! This is so fabulous! A Woman's Gotta Have It! Amen. Can I get a witness?

[stroker53]

This is dedicated to my wife.

[jsmall41]

One of these days, this man will get the respect from the music industry that he deserves. (rock and roll hall of fame..are you listening?)

[burnaboy]

rod stewart even said that he tried to copy bobby womack's voice..bobby told him to drink..something..i forgot..jack daniels..or something for rod to get that scratchy voice.....rod did it...but womack was only joking..lol

[resicup63]

@jsmall41 /ONE DAY IT WILL HAPPEN! i HAVE HIS GREATEST HITS CD. HE CAN SING FOR ME ANY TIME!!!!!

[NegroXFile]

@jsmall41 Us Blacks respect Bobby Bro, we always loved Bobby, best believe!~

[lordkoos]

@jsmall41 Yeah Bobby is great...

[amd77j]

@jsmall41 AMEN!!!!!

[afterthefox7]

@jsmall41 NOT TODAY, THOUGH!!

[luvbugg1975]

@jsmall41 tell it!!

[KrfNYC2]

@jsmall41 Oh my God yes! WHY is he so under appreciated?!...WHY!

[mjjcng8958]

@jsmall41 womack is in the hall of fame! :)

[pinkandtight3]

very nice and awe=inspiring

[eikels]

wow..serious shit !!cool

[jbhadra]

The new kids can't touch this KING!

[cgreen724]

Say it slow and say it some mo'. Them young one can't even come close and what's sad, the ones that will and want to sing songs like this, the big record execs won't put it out there.

[RUDOLPHLYRICS]

cuz the ones that run the music industry(republicans) only want to promote silly acting dumb ass no talent having blacks..

[MikeHF]

Republicans run the music industry?LOL,OK. If you would have said greedy people run the music industry i would have agreed with you. Face the facts if Bobby started his career today he wouldn't get out of the basement. The majority of people today don't know what a good musician is and don't care.

[RUDOLPHLYRICS]

not to get off topic, but explain to me how it's ok to do whole albums about killing, robbing, and selling junk to people in black communities, but songs about the president, racist cops, anti-war protests are not played on tv or the radio.. and don't give me the "it wont' sell" message cuz a lot of stuff don't sell.. remember jadakiss' song "why" and how they beeped out his message about george bush? this whole music industry is much bigger than a studio console and a cd..

[MikeHF]

It's OK because we live in a free society. You don't have to listen to it and you are not forced to buy it. Fact is if this type of music did not sell millions of CDs they wouldn't be making it. You would never catch a guy like Bobby Womack rapping and using profanity like these numskulls do these days.Of course Bobby doesn't sell much either.The blame here goes to the artist who produces this music while promoting a certain lifestyle only to make a buck and to the people that buy it.

[5291791]

One of the last of the soul men.Bobby Bad-Ass Womack

[whitechocolateis4u]

The Best and Nothing Less. Bobby is one of a kind. When I hear him I get so many memories and old-school vibes. He can't be beat ever.

[spyce11]

Bobby The Messenger.

[RUDOLPHLYRICS]

[kvocalist]
