Great memories of seeing Womack live at Manchester Academy UK; 1991. he did about a 2.5 hour set without missing a note. An absolute legend, and this might just be one of the finest soul tunes i ever heard. Timeless baby, timeless..
I was searching for this song for years (a mate of mine back in sunny Bolton had it on 12 inch and I used to put it on whenever he wasnt looking!)...Jeff"Big Nose"Swindles the best thing you ever did was get this record. When I came to Australia 20 years ago I began the search for the song and it took me years to find it. I found a guy called Todd Cavender thru Google and he sent to me in 2008 - the lifelong search was over and I can now play it to my hearts content. Thank you Todd and Bobby
most of Bobby's songs are new to me I kinda like that because it's like listening to all new stuff. I left chicago in the 80's to denver where you don't hear a lot of his stuff. You can find people who haven't even heard of him, that is like come on now but sadly it is true. I am glad to find him on the tube. Thanks for that.
Ha Ha, my fac=vourite Bobby Womack tune on a snowy sunday in the Netherlands, how much better can your life get!!! This guy is So underated in funkynish.. Help Yourself
I first heard this on a soul show played by 'Robbie Vincent' back in the 80's. I was lying on the floor with old brown 80's speakers either side of my head and this came on, lets just say 'Blown away' is an understatement. WHAT A TUNE!! still blows my mind!! Respect to you Sal1675, only a true soul head could write such a comment! keep listening!
I was listening to the same show and it had exactly the same effect on me. I'm so pleased I managed to get hold of a copy of this on 12". Stupidly I lent it to a DJ friend of mine and it didn't come back to me in great condition. Still plays though! There's a great track on the other side too - The Roots in Me, I think it is.
Yeah the B-side is the roots in me. This is a belter of a track too. Vinyl goldust mate, you don't get the same effect of possession from MP3 and CD compared to holding this 12" of this beauty in your hands.
Learoy Hutson, don't even go there,lol!! I could write you a fucking book on how Ii feel about soul music and what it means to me.
So I won't mention Randy Brown, Walter Jackson, Marvin Gaye, Minnie Riperton,Roberta Flack,Bill Withers, Beau williams,Barbra Mason, Esther Phillips, Anita Baker, etc to ya ; )
Amazing track and truly an anthem "up North", the guy rocks. Have been able to see him twice but he didn't do this track, still an amazing show especially in 1990.
Thank you so much for posting this. LOVE this album. Could you also post "The Roots in Me" from this album? That is my absolute FAVORITE track. Thanks!
It has been sooo long since I've heard this! I can't believe I haven't heard this song in so long! I forgot about it until now! Thanks for a great memory! Love it completely!!
classic, peace brother :))
