Thanks so much for posting these, Lazz. I have most of them but am downloading them anyways because it's easier than searching through the shelves, boxes, and piles of compact discs. I have been listening to Womack's music since I learned the news last night. I was glad to see the interest in "The Bravest Man In The Universe" after his difficult battle with cancer, There's not much more to write; as with Bobby Bland's and Solomon Burkes' passing, it's a time to listen and remember.
One less than profound thought has drifted through my brain throughout the day; the older I get the more I find myself listening to the music of artists who are no longer with us. As saddening and maddening as that fact of life is, all I have to do is crank up 'Across 110th Street' or another of his songs and Womack, like his late colleagues, lives again if only for a few brief moments. I can't even conceive of a time when the only venue for music was live performance and when the artist passed, his or her music went with him. No doubt, we all share vivid memories of concerts we attended but to grab that piece of plastic, put in on the compact disc player, and say, "This one's for you, Bobby" helps dispel the sadness and best of all it's always accessible at any hour of any day. I'm just glad that I have been alive from the birth of soul to the present and experienced the visceral joy of hearing so much of it when it first hit the airways and I'd have to buy 9-volt batteries for my transistor radio every two weeks. I'm heading over to Poppachubby's to check out his thoughts and posts, and will thank him here rather than be redundant. Safe journey, Bobby.
Thanks for the re-ups, KC, and thanks Lazz for the added material. The Valentino album and the Minit releases are always in my rotation at the house. Just classic soul.
Great stuff guys, thanks. Still listening today, still enjoying and grieving. It's extraordinary how music can make you feel for someone you didn't know and yet, somehow, did.

Sad. Now, I'm really glad I got to see him perform at this past Jazz Fest. RIP Mr. Womack.
I've discovered some womack links still alive!

A big thanks to you, LAZZ, for this series. Love this singer.
