More Info:
'Save The Children' was Bobby Womack's onlyrelease for Dick Griffey's Solar Records. Producedby Womack, Keg Johnson, Cecil and KevinWomack and keyboard player Frank Hamilton, thiswas a fine attempt to straddle both Bobby's 60ssoul-based and pop, while reflecting the influencesof late 80s hip hop.· Highlights include the snappy 'Baby I'm Back','She's My Girl' and 'Now We're Together' but it's on'Too Close For Comfort', a ballad co-written withHT Payne, that Womack comes closest torekindling the kind of sound found on some of thebest-known tracks.· The title track (not to be confused with similarlynamed songs by Marvin Gaye and The Intruders)reached the US R&B charts in late 1989. Of specialnote is the title track of Eddie Murphy's 1985album, 'How Could It Be', redone as the sociallyconscious 'How Can It Be'.· Finally available again on LP, this hidden gem is areminder of the greatness of one of R&B andSoul's finest singers, songwriters and performers.
