"Sam Moore, the Soulman, one of the pioneers and greatest singers ever has left us..
I’m not saddened as much as I felt incredibly lucky to have had the opportunity to be in his presence.Having had the opportunity to perform and even record with Sam was humbling and an honor
But knowing that I convinced Dorothea to come on what was our first date to see Sam and Dave
In the spring of 1980 at the Fast Lane in Asbury park was one of my fondest memories..
Sending my luv to his wonderful wife Joyce
And imagining that heaven sounds a little better with the voice of an Angel

Much luv Soulman"

The debut single from Soul Music nobility, The Womack Sisters, is a one-two punch of soulful excellence. "If You Want Me", displays uncompromising rawness with pop-sensible control in equal measure. Propelled by the percussive attack of the piano and the hard-hitting call and response vocals the track has a satisfyingly feel-good swing, allowing the groove to accentuate the hook.
