@musicEASEmyMind i hear ya on this one my brotha they do not make this kind of music anymore all i am into also is classic R&B Soul the best musicians of our time Mr Bobby Womack and he did play his own music instruments like the guitar oh my oh my how sweet it is on this song Bobby Womack Close To You! yes sah!
News flash, every culture has endured their share. Have the Jews not suffered? Or how about the Israelites? Or how about Islamic? Even the Irish have had their share. These are but a few. Each has its own influenced music with soul. The fact you say only black folks feel it shows how truly racist and ignorant you are...
@waytostoned News flash -- And the fact that no one EVER used the word "only" shows that you can't read. And I'm done with it. Everyone, please just enjoy this beautiful song. There is no reason to surround this beautiful gift from Bobby with a discussion about racism. Peace.
On December 24 at 8 o'clock in the morning, a young 14 year old boy by the name of Scott Johnson was found dead. Doctors couldn't come up with the cause of his death. His mother checked his emails to see if she could figure out what happened. Turns out he was still signed in myspace. She found he had gone to sleep after he read and didn't repose a chain letter. If you don't repose this to six videos a girl with no face will kill you tonight. sorry don't want to to die
~ All I ever wanted was to be part of your heart, and for us to be together, to never be apart. No one in the world can even compare, You're perfect and so is this love that we share. We have so much more than I ever thought we would, I love you so much more than I ever thought I could. By the way you look at me I know that we will last. I hope that someday you'll come to realize, how perfect you are when seen through my eyes. ♥ you my beautiful spunky JD ~ xox ~
Bobby Womack is a great story teller what artist has that talent i feel his soulful emotional and experience in life back in that time! you go BOBBY !
I gotta say this has gotta be one of the greatest male vocals I've ever heard (for those with no patience skip about 5 minutes in). Put on repeat it sounds better each time! Phrasing, note selection, time is mind blowing!
Though the Carpenters were good; can't do it real justice without Black soul! Sing it Bobby! We make the best music on the planet, especially the Black American. Blues, Jazz, Soul, R&B, Rock n' Roll and Positive Hip Hop! Must be the melanin! Just saying though!
@Robmorgan144 What a racist comment. You do good music, but saying that is the best, just show your complex of inferiority. There's no best. There's music in it's wholeness. By the way, this song was composed by white people. I'm sure that Bobby Womack would find your comment ridiculous. Grow up.
@EnryMusica Racist?Ahh,maybe.But it's true.At least to us.Black soul is the best music.Old black singers of this era had more struggle than other people so they sung with more passion & emotion.
@thegreatcratesofsoul Yes. Black music from the 70's is the best! The only genre that I find to be truly timeless. That's probably because it inculded vocal abilities and styles that have never been found anywhere else.
Thanks for the memories Bobby I remember ,it was June 9TH ,my Birthday......my father went on a fishing trip,when he returned about 3 in the morning ,all the lights were off,and everybody was hugged up with somebody even my mother,we was scared as hell,he didn't say a word, he walked on by us,later he return after he went,and washed up...and said.... where did everybody go..... .....no one was left in the house,but me , my mom,and my cousin......the party was over
"Not commercial" back then meant "too black & raw". It is so Bobby that he would tell that story before doing what was called back then a "crossover", his OWN funky version of this classic Carpenter's song. "The Last Great Soul Man" is such an appropriate title for this true legend. From his days with Sam Cooke to "Across 110th Street", to "Harry Hippie" and beyond, the baddest left-handed guitarist in the business. Just listen to that guitar picking. Truly," The Last Great Soul Man"...
man this song has taken me back to a day when it was all about living, loving and being apart of the beauties of life, instead of this comercial day where one has to do and think as what the media allows us to... well them... thanks bobbie
Finally I've found this song! I heard it sometime ago and forgot where I had heard it! Alright - I been in Love with this man for over thirty yrs plus years, and I will keep on Loving you - Bobby Womack.
@Boeing747fourhundred No, Bobby is right handed. Bobby said that he would sneak and play his dads guitar but he wasn't suppose to touch it.He taught himself to play left handed so he could look out the window and know when his dad came home so he wouldn't get a whippin. One day he broke a string and he thought he going to get a beating but his dad said "if you can play it, I won't whip you" so he didn't get a beat down.
they dont make these songs anymore where an artist like Bobby Womack singing it and meaning the song we dont have today s artists just out for the dollar signs we need future artist but played differently God bless the classic souls like Bobby Womack ! sing it my brutha ! play that guitar! play it sing it!
~Bobby...you'll always be a GIANT,and A LEGEND~ when it comes to just flat out Sannnnngin/Croonin!!! Be sure and tell your brother Cecil that I said "Hey"!!! Jesse Belvin Jr.
Youtube David Ary for my cover of 110St. I can't wait to work with you Bobby. We are about to do something that has never been or ever will be done in music after us. May Jesus be with you in all and everything you do.
in 1972 i went to a bobby womack concert in miami. i got there 2 hours early and managed to catch the soundcheck. womack was crying for over half and hour before he had to go on, because he was desolate over his inadequacy compared to carl carlton. he was right to cry.
@sam1610 what inadequacy re you talking about? And who/where is Carl Carlton? I know who he is, but how many other people do? Did he have any more hits other than bad mama jama? Also, I know hits don't = talent, BUT
@oaklandonthecomeup yo i know most singers feel inadequate compared to carl carlton, so it's no insult to bobby. but still he cried for a LONG ASS time. and carl don't need no hits to cement his title, mang. check out his vid of him singin 'competition a'int nothin' from from the comfort of one swanky- STANKY ASS- basement. here's a heads up tho: competition AINT NOTHIN!...when it comes to ccarlton.
@vanessa4u4evr That ain't true. The same God made black folks soulfull made a few white folks just as get down and do it righteous. Beauty, soul, musical genius--whatever--comes in all races and ethnicities. It's narrow minded to think nobody can get down unless they're one color or the other. Music and the arts proves your statement wrong. Soul is just soul no matter who's putting it down.
@waytostoned It's not a matter of whether color matters or not, cause you're right, color doesn't matter. I'm black and my husband is white, so I'm not a racist. However, what does matter is the truth; and from my perspective, I stand by what I said. It's like acknowledging that white people are some swimming asses. They can out-swim black people on any given day. Doesn't mean that there are not black people or other races who aren't top dog in the field as well. It's just the truth?
This is a great song with an interesting message. And WHAT a version of the corny song Close to You. Great great job Bobby. I love this entire tune. I would love to perform this piece!
Thanx levabell for this video. I loved it back in the 70's/80's and somehow, I lost track of it. And I have never never forgot it. And now I found it posted. I tripped. I love Mr. Womack. He don't even have to sing, he can just talk. He's truly the "Poet".
I believe you are right! Cause if you look at the other pictures of him- Album Cover of "Love has finally come", "Where do we go from here" and others- he's certainly holding it "lefty" style- Just like Paul McCartney
sho you right. He got the kinda voice that whether he sing or talk, it's all good. I've seen him a few times in concert and he the man. He's one of my all time greats. Bobby, Frankie Beverly....can't be touched
This is very nice song. He gives us information about his life as an artist. He expresses his frustration with the industry. You keep doing what you do Bobby. I love your music. It speak truths. I guess that would not be commercial.
I can't find a compliment for Bobby Womack. An awesome singer, a brillant guitrarist...His music is ethereal (can it be a compliment?). There are the best musos and all that egoistical bull but I put Bobby in the untouchables room.
i remember the first time i heard this song i was leaving memphis tennessee to go to miami in 1978 me and my 6 sons and i met a woman listening to this song while we was flying to miami. after awhile with her i got close to her, we got married in 1979 and had 4 kids. i met bobby womack in west palm beach and he sang this same song at our wedding. i love that song and i have a reason to say so
I grew up listening to Boby Womack but it took me until my adult years to understand the quality of music I was listening to all those years.

sho you right. He got the kinda voice that whether he sing or talk, it's all good. I've seen him a few times in concert and he the man. He's one of my all time greats. Bobby, Frankie Beverly....can't be touched

This is very nice song. He gives us information about his life as an artist. He expresses his frustration with the industry. You keep doing what you do Bobby. I love your music. It speak truths. I guess that would not be commercial.

@scootamem
I can't find a compliment for Bobby Womack. An awesome singer, a brillant guitrarist...His music is ethereal (can it be a compliment?). There are the best musos and all that egoistical bull but I put Bobby in the untouchables room.

@scootamem Others can't do it 'cause he's lived it. He's giving us his SOUL at that point in the song. The man is just a genius.

When they say "you're not commercial" what they really mean is, "you make people stop, and THINK... and you KNOW we just can't have THAT!"

i remember the first time i heard this song i was leaving memphis tennessee to go to miami in 1978 me and my 6 sons and i met a woman listening to this song while we was flying to miami. after awhile with her i got close to her, we got married in 1979 and had 4 kids. i met bobby womack in west palm beach and he sang this same song at our wedding. i love that song and i have a reason to say so
