Bobby Wo has raised me as a man through his spirit like lyrics...wish my dad would have had this talk with me when i 22..maby i would have missed out on all the bs that comes with having a lot of women and playing around with their heart.

[Superfoot]

@mjjcng8958

LOL lol Nice....his folx probably are!

[timmy841212]

@Superfoot Yeah I wouldn't be surprised if Friendly Womack, Sr. was originally from Mississippi and moved to Ohio for a better life for his kids. All his sons were born in Cleveland I believe, though. But good point.

[KNOEITAL]

so classy right here

[cathleen519]

It's cool if you can handle it - that's righ!

1973: Auditorium Theatre Chicago, first row center at the Bobby Womack concert. Two high school chicks fans forever after that excellent experience.  Go Bobby!

[concept8407]

[mrluckyme92]

a real old school pimp put it down almost 40 years and his game still strong

[Aucht52]

Can't get enough of this brilliant piece of classic soul from the master of cool Wish he'd done more in this vein, LOVE this!

[veeseee128]

"Facts of Life" is aguebly his best album. From" Nobody wants you when your down and out" to "All along the Watch Tower" he hit every song right on point. A lot of great musicians worked on this album with him, all real instruments, no computerized fake sounds on this. Down home pure singing. Soul music at its best. One of the best Soul music albums of all time! He defintely reached his peak with the Facts of Life ALbum. Only my opinion.

[veeseee128]

1 person doesnt like down home real soul music.

[veeseee128]

the violins in this are so awesome. much feeling. he must have had atleast 4 violinist on this song.

[TheDonell69]

This is music listen and learn new schoolers.

[BiggHvy]

Just Smooth thats all i can say Respect the Game.

[veeseee128]

No one sings like the WOMACK! My favorite soul singer.

[MEMPHISKATT901]

I really need the lyrics to this one !!! A real Steppers Jam

[eyesley]

yeah Bobby break that shit down!

[TheMamaruby]

@eyesley Hes breaking down for ya

[janlikesmusic1]

I feel you on this one Bobby, she wanted to be with you other wise she wouldnt have been hangin around.

[TheGulleyman1]

No. Body does things such,as this song,like bobby.

[lilpopcandy]

This is my new favorite song by Bobby Womack. I love this shit!

[ranaesbaker]

this is my shittttt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[coolmsfee]

I need a he'll be there kinda brotha!

[amd77j]

Listen to how smooth the music is and how Bobby always is so sincere in his approach. Can't copy that. You have to live "it" in order to have "it". "It" is S-O-U-L. Bobby Womack=icon/original.

[Jaghill]

....find u sombody thas really gon mean u sum goood! LOL! I love that shit!

[veeseee128]

I like the guitar licks in this. Bobby woamck delivers.

[loveyou1952]

And this is a fact!!!!!! the true facts of life, I luv this guy telling it like it t.h.i.s.

[Pontiac127]

This song is the TRUTH!!

[bigblk601]

The greatest! Hands down!

[veeseee128]

@bigblk601 I agree as far as soul music. no one sings quite like the womack.

[winsome1235]

Bobby Womack is one of the most underated singers in the world. This man brings it. Sing it Bobby. One more time!

[mariodw4]

@winsome1235 I agree. There are night I pull out the old 33's of Bobby and just groove. I a young "cat" of 33 and mom used to play please. Even as a kid I understood his brillance. He's very underrated.

[jh8856]

This was before Bobby became the 'Poet' in '71 he was the 'Preacher'. Rap on brother. Lovely mellow groove.

[Aucht52]

Since I found this last month I've listened to it 1000 times..........honest.Man this is one of the best soul songs ever........................by one of the best singers

[oldshagger2]

@Aucht52 I have, also, listened to this MANY times. He talks as sweet as he sings. LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!

[dynomitetucker]

[ERERWALTON]

MOMMA TAUGHT ME ABOUT GOOD MUSIC I'M SO GRATEFUL :-)

[Aucht52]

OMG I haven't heard this for 30 years. Brought tears to my eyes - so many memories. Bought this album the day it was released in '73 been a fan of Bobby for a long time. THANK YOU sooo much for posting this.

[MrYung31]

he speaking the strait truth on this song

[apigram1970]

All I can say is school em Bobby!!!!

[mrscorpio444]

i have read a few of the comments and i must say that all of them almost left me with nothing to say .the soulfulness and the audacity of bobby womack is just what we need to just say yeah.

[veeseee128]

Bobby womacks best album. All the songs on this album are so funky and soulful. If you want to hear real soul music pick up this CD. Womack has some great musicians playng with him on this album.

[BsideB704]

This is true SOUL music! if you can't feel this you are missing something special. I'm on that womack 73 baby. Thank god for my aunts and uncles and my parents that open my eyes to the real.

[alexalot23]

i'm glad that you had older relatives who were able to expose you to this music.

[Erica0788]

@BsideB704 I am the same way... I'm a late 80's baby but i am in love with the old school because my mama, daddy, uncles and friends of the family used to play this in the car, at the cook outs, card games and etc...

[MisterCrazyLegs]

Amen....Amen. I hear u talkin. This is the stuff that hits you right in the heart...you just cant beat it. And its "the truth" that you feel..mixed with all the instrumentation and rhythm, with Bob's voice. Its taken me years tryin to figure out why this kind of music moves me the way that it does. My Dad loves Bob too...and he simply said, "Baby Boy, what u feelin in Bob's music is THE TRUTH..thats all it is..the truth". All this shit on the radio is bullshit and lies.

[sweetlikecandi365]

This is a sliq song very smooth

[soulsetsmysoulonfire]

Ice cold straight talk. If you can feel really real. Ridiculously tight as hell!

[calidime30]

This is realllll talk right here. Young heads please listen to this

[canicole20]

OMG>I really loooovvve this song.I remember my dad sitting in the backyard getting drunk,and telling me old stories(this song would be playing on the radio).This song brings back memories.We still sit around and listen to good oldies whenever we get the chance. :-);-) Thank YOu

[solesirching73]

Those chords almost sounded like Earth, Wind & Fire's 1977 jam "Brazilian Rhyme"

[harmonicmenace]

REAL TALK!!!! Like Bobby said, "......if you can handle it......" It's not JIVE-TALKING, it's LIFE. I can listen to this and BE FOR REAL (by Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes w/Teddy P) ALL DAY!!!

THAT'S WHY I LOVE THE 70'S SO MUCH !!!!!!!

[rlbanks6]

Check out Calvin Richardson's new CD " "The Facts of Life- The Soul of Bobby Womack". Great CD. He does Bobby right.

[sluget3]

yeeeeeeeaaaaaahhhhh baby I remember back in the gap being a kid listening to my pops play this grooving around the house.Not trying to knock the new schoolers but music was so real back in the day.I can see my mom and pops danceing to this right now! When the sun goes down.

[MsMelzy]

yeah me too...I feel you

[Cincitysupaman513]

I can remember my father telling me if I want to hear some real music look up Bobby Womack The Facts Of Life and the rest was history.......

[nicholasadrianthomas]

hey dynomite, doesn't this song just have that SWAG. ttands

his is just a fly way to justify one night s

[Denverboi21983]

I was raised on Bobby Womack.....this brings back memories

[summersbr1]

THIS IS THE ORIGINAL DEFINITION OF ""RAP"................you expressed yourself when you actually had something to say or shared your best conversation with a lady of your interest

[OGKaine]

WOOOOOOORRRRRRDDDDDDD

[jdr07h]

this is jive talking (running game) at its best.... I LOVE EVERY ASPECT OF THIS SONG.,,, the music,,,, the talking ,,,, the singing,... the lyrics....THIS IS A MUST PLAY ON ANY BLACK ON BLACK RHYME TRIP

[SeerTrulth]

Aside from the jive-ass justification monologue at the beginning, this is a bad-ass song. "It gets real technical ... the contract, the agency" BULLSHIT! Nice jam, though.

[Bizarronumber4]

This is such a wonderful song!

[bnreal800]

teach bruh!!

[23tariq]

This is one of those songs from back in the day that you would chill to on a summer nite feeling a cool breeze coming off the lake in chicago,behind larabida enjoying ur lady an steppin til sunrise,yes.

[MrRiley21]

Im an 80's baby wit soul from the 70's this song grabs me.

[veeseee128]

"Facts of Life " Lp is Bobby Womacks Best Album. My favorite Bobby Womack album of all time. 5 stars! A 10 album rating. This is his best work. The man can sing so good, if you like real black soul music ,this is it.

[MCROCKHOM1]

I fell in love listened to this song back in 1975. That Vietnam Veteran recently passed away. But, I still cry when I hear this song. I think I made a wrong choice.

[dynomitetucker]

this some real gangsta shit man R.I.P. Mike.... do it Bobby

[summersbr1]

what do you find or hear thats "gangsta" about this song? i'm just interested in you explanation, thats all............

[dynomitetucker]

bobby being brutally honest and how he just talk to you so calm like he has done this many of time.. and the groove is laid back... the music is made for driving a "Lac" thats gangsta

[usfins]
