There are reports elsewhere on the net that the fine songwriter Cecil Womack had died . He started in the music business as one of The Valentinos, proteges of Sam Cooke. In the 80s as part of Womack & Womack he had big hits with 'Love Wars' & 'Teardrops'.
His first wife was Mary Wells with whom he had three children and later he married Linda Cooke daughter of Sam Cooke and had four more children. He is, of course Bobby Womack's brother.
I saw them all perform some years ago dressed in modest African attire and it was in Africa that he has died.
