The passion and message left behind by soul poet Bobby Womack.
A masterpiece of deep soul that blossomed in the early 80s. Deep blues and romance sung by a wounded soul.
"Poet" is an album released by Bobby Womack in 1981, and it marked the reevaluation of his later career. It is a perfect blend of sophisticated urban soul and earthy gospel, and is filled with passionate singing that is truly worthy of being called a "poet." "If You Think You're Lonely Now" is a famous ballad that influenced many artists later on. It is a monumental work of soul music that sings of both the darkness of society and personal love in equal measure.
