Bobby Womack

Cleveland-born singer Bobby Womack hit the Top 10 on the R&B chart numerous times, but in terms of pop music success, he only hit the Top 10 once on Billboard‘s Hot 100.  Exactly 40 years ago, that one Top 10 hit, “Lookin’ For a Love,” hit its peak position of number 10, where it would spend one week.

Though Womack, who turned 70 earlier this year, experienced  most of his success from the 1960s to the 1980s, he released an album as recently as 2012, and he continues to perform internationally.
