Sadly the world lost another musical giant, Bobby Womack, who passed away June 27. The Cleveland-born singer, songwriter and musician was responsible for countless hit records including “If You Think You’re Lonely Now”, “Lookin’ For a Love”, “California Dreamin” and “Across 110th Street”, just to name a few. One of the great artists who Bobby Womack inspired was Raphael Saadiq, who recently recorded a soulful dedication track titled “Gonna Miss U”.

On his soundcloud page Saadiq wrote:

“Bobby Womack is one of my musical soul International known Heroes, never had to chance to work with him, or even talk to him, but I did get a chance to shake his hand and say hello, although he didn’t know when I spoke to him, it felt like I knew him for a very long time. My parents would always play Bobby Womack records in the house, and I continued to listen to them. So, much love to Bobby Womack and his Family. Here’s Toast to Bobby, a song I finished last night after I heard the news,
Gonna Miss You…

Have Beautiful Transition.”
