REST IN PEACE he was THE Original Soul Blues Brother who can really sing West Coast love you I love you rest in peace you never be forgotten and your music will be played we're playing it now in 2021 and Beyond
Back when brothers had real swag back up by talent! Notice how we didnt call are women bitches and hoes or bragged about killing each other-just lookin for a love!
One of my favoritest songs ever!. You all should check out the earlier versions by the Olympics (best arrangement ever!) and by Womack's early group the Valentinos. Like the way he's half blowing off the lip synch here....like he's too cool to really be bothered. And damn, if he don't look great. Good style is good style, and lookin' good is lookin' good. I WANT THAT SHIRT HE SPORTIN'!!!!
Some information is best left unsaid:( This record was my baby sister's first single she purchased at Two Guys:) Happy memoires, dancing to this gem and many others, on a Saturday night, with my family.
Your faux pas is duly noted my brother. We all are Great Music Lovers after all and let's try to teach our children and grand kids that there was Great Music before bonjerky&beyonce&taylorSlow. Lol {and btw there is still Great music being made! Check out WFUV.ORG WXPN.ORG SXM the Loft Channel WBGO.ORG to Invigorate your Musical Soul!!!!!!}.
At age 21 Bobby Womack took Sam Cooke wife and he.never really recovered from the devastation although he was a great great songstress May he Rest In Peace DPitts
@KowKowCalqulator He sings: "With lots of love and kisses and people until then." The background vocals complete the thought with: "I'm looking for a love."
I love this song but it sounds more like a Want Ad for a maid than a plea for a girlfriend. LOL! In all seriousness, God rest your soul, Brother Bobby. And thank you for the music!
LOL 😂 My wife said the same thing however when she gets that right kind of loving, she will gladly cook for you and heals and an apron only and happily serve you your food and spoon feed you as well! And after that she will dance at your request, then take the dirty dishes away, and with a smile, clean up the kitchen and then eagerly wait for your next command.
1974 high school memories !!!!

One of my favoritest songs ever!. You all should check out the earlier versions by the Olympics (best arrangement ever!) and by Womack's early group the Valentinos. Like the way he's half blowing off the lip synch here....like he's too cool to really be bothered. And damn, if he don't look great. Good style is good style, and lookin' good is lookin' good.

One of the great guitar players of all time
Forgot he was a guitarist🤦🏽♀️
I came to Bobby Womack via J. Geils....but fortunately there are wrong roads that lead to Bobby Womack.
Hey you don't have to diss the great J. Geils Band to pay respects to the great Bobby Womack! They are BOTH Great in their own ways!
I meant to write, 'there are NO wrong roads that lead to Bobby Womack"! Whoops!
Your faux pas is duly noted my brother. We all are Great Music Lovers after all and let's try to teach our children and grand kids that there was Great Music before bonjerky&beyonce&taylorSlow. Lol {and btw there is still Great music being made! Check out WFUV.ORG WXPN.ORG SXM the Loft Channel WBGO.ORG to Invigorate your Musical Soul!!!!!!}.
I knew what you meant and you're right, J. Geils brought me to BW and a handful of other great artists/bands!
Love this great song from back in the day!
This is THE Jam!!!!
Yes yes 👍 👍

Awesome jam. One for the ages
Love bobby womack so smooth and sexy rip great legend
Immense.
I love this song but it sounds more like a Want Ad for a maid than a plea for a girlfriend. LOL!
In all seriousness, God rest your soul, Brother Bobby. And thank you for the music!
Lol it shows how times have changed but still a great song nonetheless.
LOL 😂 My wife said the same thing however when she gets that right kind of loving, she will gladly cook for you and heals and an apron only and happily serve you your food and spoon feed
you as well! And after that she will dance at your request, then take the dirty dishes away, and with a smile, clean up the kitchen and then eagerly wait for your next command.
Very good song, too bad i didn't discover it until mr Womack's death.
Love. This. Song. Watching layman. Brought me. Here
I wouldn't mind rockin with Bobby
SING IT BOBBY!!!!
He should have named that song "I'm Looking For A Maid". The first verses were household chores. 😂😂😂😅😅😅
I think he said “Do a LITTLE housework”….you just a lazy cow that’s all.
cooking and cleaning really is what love is all about. oh, and lots of hugs and kisses
I love this song
:-( ... RIP ...
Thank goodness for Soul Train
👏💯
