Top 5 Tracks R&B Edition-Day 9

Bobby Womack

A personal favorite of mine

01. Come L'Amore (in my top 20 favorite songs of all time, any genre. Can't say enough great things about this one)
02. If You Think You're Lonely Now
03. California Dreamin'
04. Across 110th Street
05. That's The Way I Feel About Cha

No love for Mr. Womack?

Why, I am shocked and appalled.

I don't know much about ole Mr. Womack except for of course If You Think Your Lonely Now. I probably have heard more just did not know it was him. I'll check out a few of those on your list.

Come L'Amore


Across 110th Street


California Dreamin'

Anybody that has seen Jackie Brown knows Across 110th Street from the opening credits, great track. The Mama's & The Papa's version of California Dreamin' is way better IMO.

Across 110th street is one of my favorite songs of all time any genre

i have a couple of his albums but im not really familiar with the song titles ill have to spin them soon

I'm sorry but this makes me sad. With all the R&B/soul heads here you'd think Bobby Womack would have at least 5 songs worth listing.

Unfortunately I only know about the 2 songs that he did that were remade

K Ci- If You Think You're Lonely Now
and
Gerald Levert & Mary J. Blige- That's The Way I Feel About You.

I will definitely get on a crash course soon though. I purchased his Best Of...from Best Buy, I just need to check it out.

Yes definitely do. He's worth checking out if you like that 1970's vintage R&B/soul sound.

Bobby Womack is dope, but I don't own any of his material.

Yeah that's one of my favorite genres of music Linker. I just got Raphael Saadiq's "Stone Rollin'". It was just released Tuesday but that's exactly what his CD sounds like. (70s R&B/Soul)

How is that album Highsmith? I'm a big Raphael fan.

Speaking of him, I hope we get a Tony Toni Tone thread sometime.

KJ it's basically The Way I See It Part 2. If you liked The Way I See It you'll like Stone Rollin. Best Buy has it for 9.99 until Saturday.

Hmm. I never listened to much Raphael. What album should I start with?

The Way I See It & Stone Rollin' follow the 70s theme. I would say his best overall album is Instant Vintage, which is his best work post Tony Toni Tone, even better than Lucy Pearl.

Bobby Womack sang from his gut but I was never a big fan of his music, unlike say Donny Hathaway....

I think Terry pulled this pick out his booty because I'm quite sure that even he couldn't list a top 5 for Bobby.....I honestly thought dude was a tad overrated with his music again IN MY OPINION...but his influence on K-Ci is obvious even without the remake that K-Ci made....I think K-Ci was/is a better singer than Bobby though again IN MY OPINION....

lol. I suggested that Bobby Womack be day 9's pick. I suggest every listen to the Communication LP. Classic material from Bobby.

and Across 110th Street & Woman's Gotta Have It is the truth....I will definitely try to spin his greatest hits tomorrow

Aside from If You Think You're Lonely Now, I'm not familiar with him too much. For what it's worth, K-Ci's version>>>>>>>>>>>Bobby Womack's version. Linker asked me to nominate him and i obliged. If any of you have some obscure picks you'd like to get listed, just hit me up. I'm sure i got a lot of your favorites lined up, but you never know.

I am on Track 13 of the Greatest Hits...as of right now my Top 5 would be....

If You Think You're Lonely Now
