BOBBY WOMACK
Bobby Womack (March 4, 1944 – June 27, 2014) was an American singer, songwriter and record producer. Starting in the early 1960s as the lead singer of his family musical group the Valentinos and as Sam Cooke's backing guitarist, Womack's career spanned more than 60 years and multiple styles, including R&B, soul, rock and roll, doo-wop, gospel, and country. Womack was a prolific songwriter who wrote and originally recorded the Rolling Stones' first UK number one hit, "It's All Over Now". (More from Wikipedia)
Tommy Afterbirth is credited with all of the deranged lyrics on the songs by the Gynecologists. Their cheesy covers of hit songs like “Brandy”, “Shape of Things to Come”, “We’re an American Band”, and “Ride Captain Ride” also suit their gonzo style; another song that they recorded was a 1973 hit by Bobby Womack called “Across 110th Street”.
