are crazy! They sure do have a bad reputation.
OLD SCHOOL ARCHIVES: (WOMACK BROTHERS WERE SCANDALOUS)
Bobby Womack admits in his autobiography "Midnight Mover," that Sam Cooke's family had a real problem with him marrying Sam's widow (Barbara). Especially, Sam's brother, Charlie. He told Womack, shortly after the marriage, "Man, anybody else could have married Sam's wife, but you. Sam loved you, man." If you ever come to Chicago...The threat was left hanging in the air but I knew what it meant.
I figured if Charlie was going to do something, I wanted to get it over and done with. Barbara and I flew to Chicago. We checked into the 'Roberts Motel,' and I called Charlie. I told him, 'I'm here. We're in 2112.' In the motel room, Barbara busied herself loading bullets into a pistol. Barbara had a mean streak in her.
Charlie showed up with his two brothers David and L.C. I opened the door and Charlie punched me. He beat me so bad-my whole head swelled up like a melon. My teeth came through my lip. He beat me unconscious. He even broke my jaw. Barbara came out of the bathroom screaming.
She made a grab for the gun, she pointed it and pulled the trigger. It just clicked (I had removed the bullets while she was in the bathroom, before our guests arrived). Charlie and his brothers left. The cops were called, when they arrived and saw my condition, they said Charlie would do time. They arrested him later that evening but I declined to press charges. He was released and Barbara and I went on with our lives.
BOBBY WOMACK SEXUALLY MOLESTED SAM COOKE'S DAUGHTER:
It was bad enough that Bobby Womack (Sam Cooke's protege) married Cooke's widow (Barbara) three months after his death 'But' what Womack reveals in his new autobiography, "Midnight Mover," is even more disturbing.
Womack was also raising Sam's daughter, Linda (pictured above) with Barbara, Linda was just 16 years old at the time.
Unbeknownst to Cooke's widow (Barbara), Womack was creeping into his stepdaughter's room at night and having sex with her until Barbara caught him and held a gun against his head. She told him to get the fu** out of her house. Womack ran to the garage, Barbara followed and shot at him, the bullet grazed his scalp. This is the reason for their divorce in 1970.
Linda would marry Bobby's brother, Cecil, (pictured above) and she would never speak to her mother again. Linda and Cecil wrote the Teddy Pendergrass hit "Love TKO."
Before Linda, Cecil was married to Mary Wells, they had 3 kids, after the divorce, Wells dated Cecil's brother-Curtis and they had one daughter together.
"MARY WELLS WAS PHYSICALLY ABUSED BY WOMACK BROTHER"
Tony Turner reveals in his book, "Deliver Us From Temptation."
"Before her death in 1992, Mary Wells was in very bad shape and had been involved at different times with two of the Womack brothers, she was now living with one of them, who not only managed her but also sang with her. Mary was touring as a nostalgia act with her baby daughter in tow, taking on just enough work to feed herself and her children while quietly suffering the physical and mental abuse of her lover."
"While I was traveling with the Tempts, I would see her on the road from time to time, nursing a black eye or a bruise. One night in Westbury, Long Island, after an argument about money, Womack went crazy. He started cutting up Mary's Louis Vuitton suitcases. Then he threw everything she owned out the window into the parking lot, which had just been covered in fresh, wet, black asphalt, took her money, and left her on the road alone with their baby."
I went to the local mall the next morning and picked out a dress for her to wear and some cosmetics for that evening's show because she had absolutely nothing but the fans didn't know it."
"They loved her for who she had been in their lives and as long as she sang, "My Guy," and "Two Lovers," they didn't care that she was singing for survival.
