Bobby Womack
John Abbey, Blues & Soul, April 1976
...AAH, WHERE were we now? Oh, yeah, Bobby and the Valentinos had just got to their first real hit with 'It's All Over Now' on Sam Cooke's SAR label. The name of Sam Cooke still spells magic to most soul fans and though his death is more than ten years ago, there is an aura about him that will never die.
