Bobby Womack: In His Own Words

Following the sad passing of soul legend Bobby Womack, Radio 2 broadcasts a special programme featuring one of his last interviews, which was recorded in May this year.

In it, Bobby discusses everything from emerging as an artist with The Valentinos to writing It’s All Over Now, which was picked up by the Rolling Stones and became their first UK No1.

There are also some profoundly personal stories as he discusses his marriage to the wife of his mentor, Sam Cooke, four months after Sam’s controversial death.
