Womack and Womack: Love Warriors
Gavin Martin, NME, 17 March 1984
IT SHOULD really be no surprise that Cecil and Linda Womack's Love Wars LP is the most compulsive and acclaimed soul outing since the Marvin and Curtis scorchers of two seasons back. Their credentials and background are impeccable – barely out of diapers they would engage in gospel singing evenings over at Sam Cooke's (Linda's father) house.
