I saw Bobby Womack perform at Bonnaroo two weeks ago today, and he put on one of the most amazing, underrated performances there. I never thought it would be the last time as it was believed he was still going strong. Don't get me wrong, I knew he was having health problems (diabetes), but he was ready to tour Europe this summer.

I'll admit it I was questioning why he was inducted back in 2009 but now I believe he is one of the most important figures in rock and roll that no one has heard of. May he rest now

Wow, Jason. I wish I'd seen him too. Glad you got to see him.

The Poet is a fantastic album.

His music is decent and I enjoy some of his works. But I still think he is marginal hof worthy. Why he is in and some more influential old school rnb acts in the same era are snubbed like the marvelettes, barry white, kool and the gang, war, joe tex, just to name a few.
