<p>Bobby Womack was a singer, guitarist, and songwriter born on March 4, 1944 in Cleveland, Ohio. He formed the gospel quintet The Womack Brothers with his brothers Cecil, Curtis, Friendly, and Harry in the early 1950s. After being produced by Sam Cooke from 1953 onwards, they transitioned to secular music and became known as The Valentinos. Following Cooke's death in 1964, Bobby Womack embarked on a successful solo career as a songwriter, session guitarist, and recording artist. In recognition of his contributions to music, he was inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall of Fame in 2009.</p>

Newly remastered from the original tapes, this reissue features Patti LaBelle, George Benson and Wilton Felder. As with its predecessor, <i>The Poet II</i> found both commercial &amp; critical success on both sides of the Atlantic with the UK’s NME naming it Best Album of 1984. Among the album’s highlights are 3 duets w/ LaBelle including “Love Has Finally Come At Last” which was a presence on Billboard’s Hot Soul Singles chart for 17 weeks, ultimately rising to #3. Expanded package w/ new liner notes.
