Bobby Womack has died aged 70.
Soul legend Bobby Womack has passed away at the age of 70 due to a currently unconfirmed cause. The singer enjoyed a long and illustrious career in soul that spanned six decades and saw him work with a diverse range of fellow artists, including Sam Cooke, Ray Charles, Wilson Pickett, Sly Stone, Damon Albarn and Gorillaz.
Born on the 4th March 1944 in Cleveland, Ohio, began his career as part of his family band, The Womack Brothers, which toured the gospel circuit of America. Impressively musically talented from an early age, Womack and his band were soon signed to SAR Records by Sam Cooke.
Bobby Womack died on Friday.
Bobby Womack, the soul singer and songwriter, died on Friday. He was 70. A representative for his label XL Recordings confirmed the death but provided no other details. Womack was a prolific vocalist, one of the greatest of all time, but he also penned hit tracks for the Rolling Stones, George Benson and Janis Joplin.
Womack, inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2009, played alongside Elvis Presley and was mentored by Sam Cooke. In later life he worked with Damon Albarn and created some of his best work on 2012's The Bravest Man in the World.
At the age of 68 soul and R&B legend Bobby Womack has been diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease.
Co-hosting a show on Radio 6 with Gilles Peterson he revealed the diagnosis and discussed his feelings about it. "The doctor said you have signs of Alzheimer's," he told Peterson, reports the BBC. "He said it's not bad yet but it's going to get worse." He added, "I don't feel together yet because negative things come in my mind and it's hard for me to remember sometimes... The most embarrassing thing was when we were getting ready to announce Damon and I can't remember his last name. That's so embarrassing."
Having already suffered a difficult 2012 with bouts of pneumonia as well as battling prostate cancer, undoubtedly he had hoped for a better 2013. This news certainly puts a dampener on the year, but increased research should hopefully help slow the symptoms from advancing in the future. Unfortunately, a lot of his career relies on his memory, as he says "How can I not remember songs that I wrote? That's frustrating."
