Bobby Womack

Hollywood, California – March 18, 2008 – Since he began his musical career as a child in the early 1950s, Bobby Womack has been one of American music’s true innovators, blending the styles of traditional gospel and soul with funk and R&B as an architect of the modern soul genre. Capitol/EMI honors Womack’s legendary body of work with the May 27 release of The Best Of Bobby Womack: The Soul Years, a new label-spanning CD and digital collection of his greatest soul sides from the 1960s and ‘70s, as well as the digital debuts of seven classic Womack albums from the vaults of Liberty Records, Minit Records and United Artists Records.
