musical contemporaries, Bobby continues to produce new music today, a
music based on his experience and the soul tradition he helped to
shape.Bobby Womack was born in Cleveland, Ohio in
1944.Bobby's father, Friendly Womack, Sr.With his help, Bobby and his brothers formed a
gospel group called the Womack Brothers in the early 1950s.Opening
