Bobby Womack " The Bravest Man Of The Universe

You could say: “nothing new, the album was already released in spring 2012”. Yes, that's true, but Bobby Womack hasn't released a new album for over 18 years, so we think it's fair to report on it years later, because Bobby Womack isn't just anyone:

he was one of the great voices in soul and R&B history. Born in Cleveland, Ohio in 1944, he began his career as a guitarist with Sam Cooke and later made a name for himself as a solo artist. Womack was known for his soulful songs, his distinctive voice and his authentic way of telling stories. Classics such as “Across 110th Street” or “If You Think You're Lonely Now” show his extraordinary talent. The Rolling Stones' first hit was written by him, which earned him a place in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. The creative break was only interrupted by chance by Blur frontman Damon Albarn, because he hired Bobby Womack as a guest singer for two songs for the Gorillaz album “Plastic Beach”. The work was so fruitful that the co-production was enough for an entire album. So who is “the bravest man of the universe?
