The first definitive anthology package of the best of the acclaimed soul duo Womack & Womack"s recordings from the 1980s/1990s. Cecil Womack, brother of Bobby, was signed by Sam Cooke to his SAR Records label in 1961 and, as a member of The Valentinos, recorded the original hit version of `It"s All Over Now" in 1964. After splitting with Mary Wells, he wed Cooke"s daughter Linda, forming a powerful writing association, with works covered by the likes of Eric Clapton, Patti Labelle and Randy Crawford. In 1984 Womack & Womack became acclaimed recording artists in their own right with the album `Love Wars". Over the next decade, they crafted soul-pop songs of hook-laden melody, irresistible groove and prominent gospel-style harmonies, as well as ballads of gossamer beauty and gritty funk with rococo pop flourishes and sophisticated wordplay.
