Ken's former right hand.

Oh goodness, I surely pray that he recovers.

He had a scare a few weeks back in Houston of shortness of breathe. I wonder if this is releated?

I'm sure it's a strong possiblity. Pnuemonia takes a while to exit your system for recovery. So if a few weeks ago he had shortness of breath, I'm almost certain he may have developed the illness back then.

Get Well Soon Bob.

Sending you ((V((I((B((R((A(( ))T))I))O))N))S)).

Get better man.

Get well brother Bobby.

This thread needs some WOMACK up in it!

I certainly hope that Bobby Womack gets better soon. My heart jumps everytime I see his name on FB, as they report the updates of his condition.

NEW YORK — Soul singer Bobby Womack has been released from the hospital following a successful recovery from pneumonia.

The cancer-stricken Womack also is scheduled to undergo surgery at a later date.

In a statement through his New York publicist, the 68-year-old Womack thanked his fans for their prayers, love and well wishes, and says he looks forward to when he tours in support of his upcoming album.

The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee is known for such hits as "Lookin' For a Love," and "That's the Way I Feel About Cha." Womack also wrote the early Rolling Stones' hit "It's All Over Now."

"The Bravest Man in the Universe" comes out later this summer on XL Recordings. It's produced by Womack, Damon Albarn and Richard Russell.

That's my cue to make sure that I purchase his upcoming CD, and secure a ticket to his live concert when he comes to NY.
