Singin' This Song

"Harry Hippie lies asleep in the shade, life don't bug him 'cause he thinks he's got it made..." Some people say this soulful track from 1972 immortalises Bobby Womack's brother and former co-Valentino Harry, while others dispute this. Whatever the truth, here's the sad ending: Harry Womack would be stabbed to death by a jealous girlfriend two years later.

All Over Now

Just got the sad news that soul singer supreme Bobby Womack died yesterday. He was 70. Amongst many other feats, he wrote and - as a member of the Valentinos - recorded the immortal It's All Over Now, which would be the first British #1 hit for the Stones back in '64. Miss him.
