	Bobby Womack
		He was born Bobby Dwayne Womack to Naomi and Friendly Womack Sr., a steelworker, in Cleveland, Ohio on March 4, 1944.
		When the Womack Brothers opened for the Soul Stirrers at a local gospel show in 1953, Bobby came in contact with their lead singer, Sam Cooke, who was just beginning to branch out into secular music.
		For his next release, Bobby returned to his very first hit, and cut a remake of the Valentinos’ 1962 “Lookin’ for a Love.” Womack re-recorded the song almost as an afterthought while sorting through several original songs to be placed on his next album.

	Bobby Womack - Biography and Recommendations
		Bobby then began an association with Sam Cooke, initially joining his band as a guitarist (the Cooke ties run deep, with Cecil Womack and Cooke's daughter Linda marrying and forming Womack and Womack and Bobby marrying Cook's wife Barbara shortly after Cooke's untimely death).
		The Womack Brothers evolved into the Valentinos, most famous for their original version of the Womack penned 'It's All Over Now', later covered by the Rolling Stones.
		The late 70s was a fairly lean time for Bobby as personal problems, including the death of his brother Harry ('Harry Hippie' as Bobby's tribute would have it) and drug addiction, began to take their toll.
