Not only was he a powerhouse singer, he was a very innovative guitarist that introduced a number of effects

My only exposure to Bobby was back in '80 when he opened for the Stones. When the night was over, I left thinking that the Stones should have opened for Bobby.

My favorite Bobby Womack song . . . .
 

 
. . . . which I originally learned in this nitro-methane-and-Thunderbird-fueled rendition:
 

 
BW was such a great writer and performer, and then the pre-'Centerfold' JGB was a live steamroller:  I never saw a band that could grab an audience by the neck as fast as they could.

My favourite Bobby Womack song:
 

 
and in this live, recent rendition:
 

That song will be getting airplay on my Jazz radio programme in memory of Bobby Womack this evening and I will be doing a feature on Horace Silver.  
I'm on at 18:00 GMT.

Jazzy, I will be certainly tuning in!. As a listener and musician from the Caribbean, I feel identified with what the website says about the radio station, and as a fellow Alembician bassist, I am sure there will be room for a lot of low frequency thumpin?! And who knows, maybe one day my work could also be displayed there!. Best regards!

I have complete freedom in what I play on my radio programme and so there is a good chance your work could get on here. Usually the only things i reject are those that have no connection with Jazz, blues or world music or if the recording production quality is at a level that it will not stand up next to the other tracks on the programme. ( no point in playing something that is going to put the artiste in a bad light). I've already played some tracks by fellow forum member Pierre-Yves.

Jazzyvee,      
 
I will try to be a regular listener now ____  
That was a most enjoyable Horace Silver show!
Many of his tunes were important building blocks to my musical connection to understanding and playing Jazz ____  
 
 Horace Silver & Miles Davis are both largely responsible for sparking and starting my love of Jazz,  in spirit , content and delivery.  
 
Bobby Womack will always be a part of my musical appreciation with his grooves and spirit as well . He really knew how to capture his audience. Such a great performer ____

Hey thanks Sonicus, If I know you are listening in future I will put on some Jazz is Dead on for ya.

I agree with Jcdlc72, Across 110th Street is as close to a perfect song as I've ever heard.....  It was co-written by Bobby and someone called Peace.  Anyone know who Peace is, or what else he or she may have done?
