The acquisition of the Womack masters was announced this week by ABKCO President Jody Klein who noted, "Our enduring relationship with Bobby Womack is one of the cornerstones of our company so we are delighted to bring these great recordings into the fold."
Womack commented, "There comes a point in any artist's life when he becomes an artist. For me it was when these recordings were made. They haven't been available for quite a while but everything comes in time and now, thanks to ABKCO's efforts, we'll have them again."
ABKCO's relationship with Womack dates back to the mid-1960s and is, in many ways, an extension of ABKCO's involvement with Sam Cooke who was Womack's musical mentor. ABKCO Music has been Womack's music publisher for over 40 years and administers his entire catalog including such classic Womack songs as "It's All Over Now" that was covered by the Rolling Stones and went on to be the group's first #1 hit. Other notable songs penned by Womack and published by ABKCO include "Across 110th Street," "Woman's Gotta Have It," "Breezin'," and "That's The Way I Feel About 'Cha."
