Remembering Bobby Womack; Legendary Singer Dead At 70

With the weekend came the tragic news of one of America’s finest soul voices; Bobby Womack passed away at the age of 70. A representative for Womack’s label XL Recordings confirmed the singer has died, but said the cause of death was currently unknown.

With an incomparable voice few could match, Womack was a stirring singer and guitarist in his own right and a powerful songwriter whose hits like “Across 110th Street,” ”If You Think You’re Lonely Now” and “I Wish He Didn’t Trust Me So Much” still receive spins and accolades from music fans across the globe.

Celebrated for a career is music that thrived over half a century, Bobby Womack continued making music through his late 60′s. In 2012, Womack began a career renaissance with the release of The Bravest Man in the Universe, his first album in more than 10 years. Perhaps to little surprise to Womack fans, the album made Rolling Stone’s 50 Best Albums of 2012 alongside numerous other critical accolades.

Our love to Bobby’s family in this sad time. May his talent always be celebrated and honored.Similar Posts:
