    Great voice. Don't know much about him but Across 110th street is a most wonderful song

    Such a rich and beautiful voice. I knew he'd been suffering for a long time with cancer & Alzheimer's, but still so sad to hear this news. Rest in Peace Bobby, The Bravest Man in the Universe.

    RIP to a great singer and songwriter.

    There was a really good documentry about him on BBC4 a while back. Fascinating life full of ups and downs.

    Very sad news. A true soul great.

    I still have the original US 45 of *It's All Over Now" by the Valentinos, which was basically the Womack brothers. Unfortunately it was overlooked in the UK at the time due to the hideous, watered down version by a group whose name I seem to have forgotten.

    RIP.
