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
fabulous song from the beginning to the end! when i was a little girl i watched soul train as if my life depended on it!!LOL...i wouldnt even go outside to play hop scotch or nuthin else until it was over and the ending credits were rolling up! me and my friends studied all the baddest clothes! shoes, and dagnce moves and tested each other to see who was the coolest! i still have the clothes today and the dancce moves too lol....this brings back wonderful memories thanks so much for posting this
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!
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!
1974 high school memories !!!!
REST IN PEACE BOBBY I LOVE THIS SONG IM STILL LISTENING TO YOUR AWESOME SONGS

A #1 hit for Bobby Womack on the Rhythm & Blues charts. It was the 288th #1 R&B song of the Rock Era. It also hit #10 on the Top 40 charts.
When the beat drops @1:50 that is my fave part of this song. Always brings back memories as kid at a family get together. Good music!
So groovy.
RIP Don C Love Peace, & Soul

thx this video
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!
Yes I am!
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
Love. This. Song. Watching layman. Brought me. Here
...YES... 0,18...
Bobby il "Signore del Ritmo..."
MyCat❤❤❤
I love this song
@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 it shows how times have changed but still a great song nonetheless.
I used to love this song back in the day, BUT.....he want looking for a love, he was looking for a maid! LOLRL!
cooking and cleaning really is what love is all about. oh, and lots of hugs and kisses
Very good song, too bad i didn't discover it until mr Womack's death.
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!
Did his TIME.....ITS YOUR time NOW!
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.
💯🙏🏾🙌🏾
OOH YEAH KANE REMEMBER HIM MY DAD HOOK ME UP ON HIM AND THIS SONG
coffee tastes great so ha
0:32-035 that's where Martin got his moves. LOL
