Robert Dwayne Womack(born in Cleveland, Ohio, USA on March 4, 1944), is an African-American singer-songwriterand guitarist. Working in the souland R&Bgenres, he achieved his greatest success in the 19 70sand 19 80s. Taking after their father, who sang gospelmusic, Bobby Womack and his brothers formed their own group. Sam Cooketook an interest in the Womack Brothers, and they recorded for Cooke's SAR record label in the early 19 60s. Renamed the Valentinos, and encouraged by Cooke to go in a more secular and commercial direction, they scored a hit with Womack's "It's All Over Now" in 1964; the The Rolling Stones' version of the song became a major hit, earning Womack generous royalty payments.
