BMG Rights Management, formerly known as Bertelsmann Music Group, is a global music conglomerate with a rich history in the industry. Originally formed in 1985 as a joint venture between Bertelsmann AG and RCA, BMG has since evolved into a powerhouse of music production and distribution.

In 1986, Bertelsmann acquired full ownership of RCA and Arista Records through the purchase of their joint venture's stock from General Electric. The following year, these labels were merged under the umbrella of Bertelsmann Music Group (BMG), solidifying its position as a major player in the music world.

In 2004, BMG joined forces with Sony Music to create Sony BMG Music Entertainment. However, in 2008, Bertelsmann sold its stake in the company, leading to the formation of BMG Rights Management. Today, BMG continues to thrive as a leading record label and distributor worldwide.

Bobby Womack was a singer, guitarist, and songwriter born on March 4, 1944 in Cleveland, Ohio. He formed the gospel quintet The Womack Brothers with his brothers Cecil, Curtis, Friendly, and Harry in the early 1950s. After being produced by Sam Cooke from 1953 onwards, they transitioned to secular music and became known as The Valentinos. Following Cooke's death in 1964, Bobby Womack embarked on a successful solo career as a songwriter, session guitarist, and recording artist. In recognition of his contributions to music, he was inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall of Fame in 2009.

'Save The Children' was Bobby Womack's only release for Dick Griffey's Solar Records. Produced by Womack, Keg Johnson, Cecil and Kevin Womack and keyboard player Frank Hamilton, this was a fine attempt to straddle both Bobby's 60s soul-based and pop, while reflecting the influences of late 80s hip hop. Highlights include the snappy 'Baby I'm Back', 'She's My Girl' and 'Now We're Together' but it's on 'Too Close For Comfort', a ballad co-written with HT Payne, that Womack comes closest to rekindling the kind of sound found on some of the best-known tracks. The title track (not to be confused with similarly named songs by Marvin Gaye and The Intruders)reached the US R&amp;B charts in late 1989. Of special note is the title track of Eddie Murphy's 1985 album, 'How Could It Be', redone as the socially conscious 'How Can It Be'. Finally available again on CD, this hidden gem is a reminder of the greatness of one of R&amp;B and Soul's finest singers, songwriters and performers.
