539 Bobby Womack [1981] - So Many Sides Of You [Motown TMG 1267]
| b/w: | Just My Imagination |
| Format: | 45 |
| Label: | Motown |
| Cat No: | TMG 1267 |
| Year: | 1981 |
| Value: | £100 |
Taken from The Poet album. It would appear that this was only released as a single in the UK on Motown. Great crossover Northern / Modern tune. SInce originally posting this back in 2010 the prices have risen from £20 to £100!
Bobby Womack is one of the truly great soul men and although he has been recording since the early 60s and has had 45 entries on the R&B charts, I don't believe that he has truly received the wider recognition that his talent deserves outside of soul circles. It is a travesty that only one of his singles ('Looking For A Love' #10 a 1974 remake of his first R&B hit in 1962 recorded with The Valentinos) has made the Top 10 nationally and only 18 of the other 45 have made the national charts only 2 of which made Top 40.
'Looking For A Love' and 'Woman's Gotta Have It' (a Modern Soul favourite) both made #1 in R&B charts in 1974 and 1972 resepectively.
His other high notes are:
'Wish He Didn't Trust Me So Much' from So Many Rivers LP in 1985
'That's The Way I Feel About Cha'
'Nobody Wants You When You're Down And Out'
Full R-E-S-P-E-C-T to the Soul Man as he has never sold out and to highlight the quality of his music I have listed a few of my favourite Womack tracks which barely scratch the surface as these are 45 A sides without delving into B sides and album tracks. If you are a lover of real soul music I defy you not to like every single track listed here!
