@blunttoniful: I agree with you but unfortunately not everybody sees it that way. When a Black man messes up this world never let's him forget. I have seen White guys who committed murder get out of prison and get many chances...but a Black man make a mistake they will bring it up everytime they can. I went on a job interview and they knew i had a fight while i was in the military....that fight was over 25 years ago and they brought it up into the conversation. Seems like they want more crime.
@DaOrigTruthSeeker: You have my love,respect and admiration for that thought. Just like you i would not need to buy 15 cars if i hit the lottery....but i too would ike to create jobs for our people because nobody else is. I notice in the Jewish Community,Irish,Italian and other races of people, how they provide for their own and nobody calls them racist for doing that. It is a natural thing to want to uplift your own race....not above other races for racial reasons but for survival reasons.
This song was a favorite of my play mother.....Mrs. Ellis.....It"s funny how "real" this song became after she passed....It reminds me of my first love.....RIP Curtis
I have never seen so many unemployed Blackmen in my life as i do now....and for some reason everytime i see one this song comes to me. Sometimes i cry to see them so down and out on the streets begging for some spare change. Some of them want to work but just can't find anything or they may have a criminal past don't people won't let them forget. I dedicate this song to all of them. If i won the lottery tomorrow i would create jobs for these brothas that most people look down on.
@DaOrigTruthSeeker You feel the same way many of us feel, myself included. I When I'm out and see the state of our people, I hurt deep inside. I know things are going to get better some how, some way but it still hurts.
Maybe, just maybe, if we took your tears and my pain before the creator...
Not all of them are like harry hippie and his lady Mary hippie. Most are honest hard working people just down on their luck.
Yes it was news to me too that this song was written about his brother Harry who was stabbed to death.I also found out that Bobby use to date Pam Grier who also was his background singer ! Wow didn`t know Pam could sing!!!!1
I agree with jeamare60 bobby womack is one of the best male vocal of all time but for some reason the people didn"t or don"t give him the props that he well owed
Funny comment that you needed help in the 80s lol@money...at the latest 1989 that would make you at least 6 years old, thats if you are really 26 as it states in your profile..great songwriter pmsl
This song is written by the late great Jim Ford who Womack swindled out of loads of royalties and money, claiming he actually wrote some of Fords songs
Womack is an idiot and Ford said that "Bobby lied and told everyone that the song was about his brother but thats not true. Bobby is an asshole - a fact he proved when i desperately needed money in the 80's. Bobby recorded many of my songs and put himself as the co writer, Bobby Womack sucks both as a person and as an artist."
@TheTimtomato Why so negative. I don't know anything about Bobby Womack the person, but I imagine that ti is not healthy for you to harbor so much ill will. God bless.
awesome awesome and awesome
