He wrote "It's All Over Now". The Stones covered it for their first #1 hit in England. Unbelievable how many artists have covered it.

Waylon Jennings on The One and Only
Rod Stewart on Gasoline Alley
Alex Taylor on With Friends and Neighbors
Molly Hatchet on Flirtin' with Disaster
John Anderson on the 1985 album Tokyo, Oklahoma. His version peaked at #15 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart.[3]
In 1989 by The Dirty Dozen Brass Band on Voodoo, featuring Dr. John on vocals and piano
Rebirth Brass Band, on the 1999 album The Main Event: Live at the Maple Leaf
Ducks Deluxe
The Sharks
Feargal Sharkey on his self-titled debut album
The Grateful Dead
AC/DC
Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers (only available on a bootleg from one of the band's 1997 appearances at The Fillmore Auditorium)
Social Distortion on Japanese edition of their self-titled album
Arno
Mabel on Another Fine Mess!
Nils Lofgren on Wonderland
Ry Cooder on his album Paradise and Lunch
Johnny Winter on Captured Live!
In the 1978 live recording by the Ozark Mountain Daredevils titled, It's Alive, recorded at Western Illinois University in Macomb, Illinois.
Amy Correia covers the Rod Stewart "medley" of Gasoline Alley/It's All Over Now on "THE I-10 CHRONICLES 2" (2001)


quote:

Years later, Bobby Womack said in an interview that he had told his manager he did not want the Rolling Stones to record their version of the song, and that he had told Mick Jagger to get his own song. His manager convinced him to let the Rolling Stones record the song. Six months later on receiving the royalty check for the song he told his manager that Mick Jagger could have any song he wanted

RIP

"Jackie Brown" opened with a great Womack song.

I love 70s soul

May he RIP.

As the story goes, Womack did not want the Stones to cover Its All Over Now - he wanted his band, The Valentinos, to release it first. Changes his mind when the royalties started to roll in. He also did the original I'm Looking for A Love - which became a subsequent huge hit for the J. Geils Band.
His personal life was a little messy. he married Sam Cooke's widow, less than a year after Cooke was murdered - and at the wedding, he wore one of Cooke's suits (allegedly at the widow's request). He had a brother that married one of Cooke's daughters.
