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.

Remastered and sourced from the original tapes. The Poet II followed in 1984 and became another big R&amp;B chart success, featuring no fewer than three duets with Patti LaBelle including the Top 3 soul smash “Love Has Finally Come At Last.” Guests on the album included master guitarist and smooth soul star George Benson, who had recorded his breakthrough instrumental version of Womack’s “Breezin’” in the mid-1970s. Other key tracks included “Tell Me Why” and “It Takes a Lot of Strength to Say Goodbye,” on a set co-produced by Womack, James Gadson, and former Rolling Stones co-manager and stylemaker Andrew Oldham.
