Bobby Womack - Facts Of Life
Review by dina
Bobby Womack's album Facts of Life is a timeless classic that showcases the soulful and emotive voice of the legendary singer-songwriter. Released in 1973, this album features ten tracks that delve into the complexities of human relationships, love, and heartbreak.
Womack's vocals are the highlight of this album, as he effortlessly switches between soulful crooning and powerful belting. His ability to convey raw emotion through his voice is truly impressive, and it's evident in each of the tracks on Facts of Life.
The album's title track is a standout, with its catchy chorus and relatable lyrics about the realities of life. Other notable tracks include "Nobody Wants You When You're Down and Out" and "That's Heaven To Me," both of which showcase Womack's ability to convey deep emotion through his music.
The production on this album is also noteworthy, with a mix of soulful ballads and upbeat tracks that showcase Womack's versatility as an artist. The instrumentation is top-notch, with a mix of horns, strings, and funky basslines that perfectly complement Womack's vocals.

Bobby Womack was a performer who asked a lot of questions. he commanded instant attention the minute he walked on stage, along with Maze's Frankie Beverly & Al Green righteous vocals are possibly the closest you get to earthy preaching, this track recorded at the world famous Muscle Shoals studio, has Bobby talking his way through the track, from his 1973 album
what a beautiful song...reminds me of my Daddy. .RIP
