Bobby Womack:
Left Handed, Upside Down
Bobby Womack is the type of person that when you sit down to interview him, you get both a lesson on the history of the music business and a unique insider’s view from someone who has been to the top and back. Questions weren’t prompted during the interview. Memories became stories, stories became lessons, and lessons became new stories. Womack promised one thing only during the interview and that was his perception of the Truth. His memories of relationships with the likes of Sam Cooke, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Wilson Pickett, the Gorillaz, and more entangled a web of experiences that gave amazing insight into a man who made it from the ghetto to a shining star through sheer talent, artistry, and willpower. Watch below as he takes us through just a few of these experiences including the story behind “Across 110 Street.”
Later in our time with Womack, his long-time producer Harold Payne showed up for rehearsal and was kind enough to allow us a sneak-peak of their song “Left Handed, Upside Down” which is a project based on the life story of Womack.
