Womack & Womack

Any fans here?

They recorded some really good songs, like "Teardrops", "Good times", and my favorite, "Baby, i`m scared of you"

"I don`t believe in magic
i believe, i believe in love everlasting"

BOBBY WOMACK SCANDAL:

It was bad enough that Bobby Womack (Sam Cooke's protege) married Cooke's widow (Barbara) three months after his death 'But' what Womack reveals in his new autobiography, "Midnight Mover," is even more disturbing. During the marriage, Womack was creeping into his stepdaughter's (Linda's) room at night and having sex with her until Barbara caught him and held a gun against his head. She told him to get the fu** out of her house. Womack ran to the garage, Barbara followed and shot at him, the bullet grazed his scalp. This is the reason for their divorce in 1970. Linda would marry Bobby's brother and she would never speak to her mother again.

pt.II..

Bobby Womack admits in his autobiography "Midnight Mover," that Sam Cooke's family had a real problem with him marrying Sam's widow (Barbara). Especially, Sam's brother, Charlie. He told Womack, shortly after the marriage, "Man, anybody else could have married Sam's wife, but you. Sam loved you, man." If you ever come to Chicago...The threat was left hanging in the air but I knew what it meant.

I figured if Charlie was going to do something, I wanted to get it over and done with. Barbara and I flew to Chicago. We checked into the 'Roberts Motel,' and I called Charlie. I told him, 'I'm here. We're in 2112.' In the motel room, Barbara busied herself loading bullets into a pistol. Barbara had a mean streak in her.

Charlie showed up with his two brothers David and L.C. I opened the door and Charlie punched me. He beat me so bad-my whole head swelled up like a melon. My teeth came through my lip. He beat me unconscious. He even broke my jaw. Barbara came out of the bathroom screaming.

She made a grab for the gun, she pointed it and pulled the trigger. It just clicked (I had removed the bullets while she was in the bathroom, before our guests arrived). Charlie and his brothers left. The cops were called, when they arrived and saw my condition, they said Charlie would do time. They arrested him later that evening but I declined to press charges. He was released and Barbara and I went on with our lives.

So, is "Teardrops" on the same LP as "I'm Scared of You"? If I purchased one CD which one should it be? I am not a fan of greatest hits packages, I'd rather buy and enjoy the music exactly as it was intended to be bought and enjoyed and that is in the originally released format.

"Teardrops" is on their "Conscience" album, which is also good, but i would definitely recommend "Love wars"

W&W had some great tunes and great singing on those albums. That mix of family relations and marriages was some of the craziest interbreeding ever! Still, good to see them get some props.

Three months after Cooke's death? Sounds to me like something was going on BEFORE Sam died.
