Legendary soul singer and songwriter Bobby Womack, who penned hits for many of the greatest musicians of the 20th Century, has died at the age of 70.

Robert Dwayne “Bobby” Womack was an American singer-songwriter and musician. An active recording artist since the early 1960s, when he started his career as the lead singer of his family musical group the Valentinos and as Sam Cooke’s backing guitarist, Womack’s career spanned more than 50 years and spanned a repertoire in the styles of R&B, soul, rock and roll, doo-wop, gospel, and country.

Julio Bashmore applied something extremely special to ‘Love Is Going To Lift You Up’ from Bobby Womack’s album The Bravest Man In The Universe. Bashmore has the ability to turn any track into a crowd pleaser. Jamie Jones thought so to when he dropped “Love Is Going To Lift You Up” in Bashmore’ back yard, Bristol Motion.
