This easily has to be one of the greatest talkshow introduction musical openings that's ever been done or recorded. With Ollie leading the path with his soulful vocal flair he made sure that nobody could come in and upstage his performance, the proof is in this video 👍😁😎👌
Just hearing him sing was such a treat now I love me some David Ruffin Ali Ollie Woodson he is just phenomenal God Rest his soul beautiful person beautiful singer
Bobbys brother Curtis also a star of his own passed away on may 21 2017. I would ask for his remembrance and ask for prayers for his companion Bernice and family. A true superstar family!!!
Ollie was truly a gifted vocalist and the passion of his singing took this particular show to another level and Ollie & Bobby turned it out... Dave Koz got all excited and found his groove and Bobby the magnificent Womack put his foot in it... This is how you make the music come alive even Arsenio knew he was out done so he made it a party lol... Rip Mr. Woodson & Mr. Womack, Thank You for the great music and showman ship.They were both Class Acts, and two wonderful human beings....
Thank you for posting this footage. My pops is up in the corner playing trombone and has recently left us. Video footage like this ensures his legacy will live on through his many recorded performances posted online. Thank you. Tron
Bobby Womack was in a class by himself very distinctive ! Ijust miss that kind of great music it will never be duplicated , it is good we have the memories of such incredible Artist !
He does not duplicate Bobby Womack, but I would encourage you to listen to a few songs by Calvin Richardson. Bobby Womack is one of his greatest influences.
WOW... thank you for posting these incomparable men. I just think Bobby Womack ranks amongst the icons like Michael, Marvin, Sinatra, Sammy, Elvis .. He surely is an icon to me ! . . r.i.p.
I will miss the Legend Mr. Bobby Womack. . My heart is very heavy tonight as now comes the part where everyone will hear of his death and play his music like crazy because you will never personally hear that sound except maybe radio or tv. Never leave a person being so angry that if something comes back where you wanna talk yet dont have the chance to say it. Millions of us never knew Mr. Womack personally but if you grew up in a home like me you grew close to the music and loved every bit of it. Thinking it would never end. Many will try to impersonate, some will come real close, but it will never make the sound of this amazing man who as I child I grew to love. May Mr. Womack find peace away from this crazed world. He will truly be so missed!!! :(
I will never forget this beautiful time Arsenio gave respect to these two men talk about singing that's all they knew how to do loved every minute of it Thanks for the Memories Arsenio rest in peace my two soul brothers singing with the angels in the arms of God thank you
The Arsenio Show Was The Best Night Show Ever, And There Hasn't Been Another One That Could Even Come Close To It, Especially Not The Ones That's On Now.
Yessss!!!! I loved the Arsenio Hall show, the best night time talk show, so missed. That was a great throwback favorite memory from an episode. Treat her like a lady is my favorite song by the Temps that was not led by Eddie,Paul or David. Ollie got a great,soulful,gritty, gospel tone n that falsetto is redonkculous! I can’t start on Bobby Womack, I need to hear If you think you’re lonely now,my favorite of his. Had to give KC Haley his props cause he wore that remake out n I don’t approve of remakes if they won’t be better or just as good as the original. RIP to these men, no voices like that anymore
Anyone watching this: do your homework. If Ali's voice even BEGAN to get to you, go to the Tube and look him up. Possibly, to you and me, the best singer ever in this genre. Ever.
Ollie voice was still kickin it on Arsenio as you can hear but it was in his prime in the 80s. I know I'm old; I know (most) these cuts from when they were initially released which is early 70s to around 1985.
TRUE STORY:i was visiting Atlanta in the summer of 84; went to a local bar in Buckhead and was amazed at brotha lead singer fronting an all-white blues band; two months later, went home to see Temptations perform at Holiday House in Monroeville-Pittsburgh, Pa. - they announnced their new lead singer, Ali Ollie Woodson. He also spent time working local bands in Augusta, Ga. in the late 70s-early 80s. A legendary vocalist that we really miss.
Thanks for sharing that with those of us who feel the same way about him. By all reports, he was a genuinely beautiful person, in addition to being a knock-out vocalist. I know he put me out for the count when I watched the video of him & the Tempts on Whoopi's Show right after Eddie Kendricks' funeral (David had died a few months earlier). He sang "Wish It Would Rain" (which I would have sworn nobody but David could ever do), and wiped me out completely. So beautiful, so deeply soul-touching.
Awwww Man. Arsenio had to shut that thing down. Ali Woodson was just about to take over. That's some of that James Brown, Michael Jackson, MC Hammer type energy. I'm a musician and I know what I'm talking about. When it's real like that, you don't have to tell the audience to get up. they will on their own. Arsenio had a schedule to keep, had he waited 30 more seconds before signaling the band to shut her down. Woodson would have taken over the show. Man I LOVE that sh**. That dude man, his voice sounds like the way James Brown, and Michael Jackson danced. RIP sir to you and Bobby W.
Bobby Womack would rock the house the brother was great and he and Olie singing together would tear the house down. WoW WoW what great talent we have lost Heaven has to be red hot with talent. DPitts we miss so many talents. DPitts
The Late Ali Woodson--how on earth did he hit those notes! Loved that voice--
God Bless him! Singing in Heaven now--but never forgotten!
2023 and still sounds good. Wish we had more artists like this today. Truly soulful vocalists.
He had the best late nite show ever and with that lineup Ali forever
Wow...how could a building hold all that power coming from these two legends❣️
Arsenio's greatest opening ever on TV. Ali Ollie Woodson, Bobby Womack and even a young Dave Koz on the sax!
Good Answer 👍 🤩😊✌️
I miss Arsenio 😱 the baddest 🌃 TV Show Host Ever 🤩 Sharp Dressing Suit wearing Brother ...Real Talk 💯 💋

What better introduction to anyone walking on stage to hear someone singing like that it's the best, it's charismatic, it's spectacular.
This easily has to be one of the greatest talkshow introduction musical openings that's ever been done or recorded. With Ollie leading the path with his soulful vocal flair he made sure that nobody could come in and upstage his performance, the proof is in this video 👍😁😎👌

Man, I must be getting old, when some 75%-90% of my music legends have passed on. P.S.-Great Great Post!

He was so gifted
Sheer genius pairing these two voices together,so similar.
Awwww Man. Arsenio had to shut that thing down. Ali Woodson was just about to take over. That's some of that James Brown, Michael Jackson, MC Hammer type energy.
