Remembering the Late, Great Bobby Womack

He was suffering from colon cancer and diabetes at the time of his death. He was 70 years old.
The cause of death was unknown.
Womack’s career took off in the early 1960’s with the Valentinos, after Sam Cooke added the group to his roster at SAR Records. After Cooke’s death, Womack married his widow.
