Now Look Here! This is Bobby Womack
Barbara Charone, Sounds, 14 June 1975
BOBBY WOMACK is confused. Suffering from an overdose of in-the-studio-excitement and jet lag, he sits on the bed of his hotel room cubicle at Blake's, feverishly rummaging through sheets and blankets in hope of finding some piece of paper that contain lyrics scrawled over it. Seems Bobby had a dream and a tune, woke up, hurriedly wrote down his latest inspiration and went back to sleep. Now awake, the paper has mysteriously disappeared and so has the inspiration.
Total word count of piece: 1815
