Bobby Womack died on June 27, 2014 at age 70. Though the cause of death is currently unknown, he had a number of health issues including diabetes, prostate cancer, heart trouble, colon cancer and pneumonia. An active recording artist since the early 1960s, when he started his career as the lead singer of his family musical group the Valentinos and as Sam Cooke's backing guitarist, Womack's career spanned more than 50 years and spanned a repertoire in the styles of R&B, soul, rock and roll, doo-wop, gospel, and country. Womack wrote and originally recorded (with the Valentinos) The Rolling Stones' first UK No. 1 hit, "It's All Over Now" and New Birth's "I Can Understand It" among other songs. As a singer in the UK he is most notable for the song which was massive in discos at the time called "Lookin' For a Love". In 2009, Womack was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Only 6 months ago he appeared on Jools Holland's Hootenanny. His biggest UK hit was a duet with Lulu in 1993 called I'm Back For More peaking at #27. R.I.P.

Yet again the British public got it wrong for the 3rd time. Jermain shouldn't have even been in the final. He just makes me fall asleep. I hope his album flops. Christina Marie was the best of the whole competition by miles. She can sing anything from ballads to pop to rock. Her collaboration with Kaiser Chiefs and her rendition of Coldplay's Fix You were perfection. :wub: I wouldn't even have minded as much should Sally or Jamie won - but Jermain :puke2: :puke2: :puke2:

This is my vote for the final Winner: Christina Marie Runner-up: Sally 3rd Jamie 4th Jermaine - I nearly always fall asleep when he is on. Christina Marie did an amazing job with Bang Bang although some of the were changed from the Cher hit. Cher's 1966 #3 hit version i-wk7-pRqCo

I fully agree Also I can't understand why they voted for Bizzi over Georgina after he performed one of Stevie Wonder's weakest songs. My final 4 would now be: Sophie May Jamie Sally Christina Marie My problem with Jermaine is he's stuck in the 50s. Sounds very much like a Nat King Cole Lee is awful with no charisma. - Reminds me of boring Matt Cardle Bizzi & Chris are both just average

Anyone noticed that the live shows are from London but all up to the Knockouts are from MediaCityUK, Salford. Seems the BBC are wasting money again having the cost of transporting all the sets. If they needed somewhere larger there is a place called the M.E.N Arena around 2 miles down the road with a 21,000 capacity. Also it has been confirmed Kylie won't be on the Series 4 due to other work commitments.

Sadly even though this book was only published last August it has now gone out of print. The only way to get this book now is from anywhere that has stock left. It is still for sale HERE but costs £30

Georgia is Adele's cousin not her sister.

Just what was Ricky thinking of choosing Emily over Beth. Beth was far superior. Small mercies though with Jazz not getting through. Steven should have gone through - he was miles better than Bizzi

I think the same way about Jazz. I hated her attitude towards 16 year old Luciee just for being a fan of Kate B.

How come the poll only goes down to Top 40 when the official chart is Top 100. So to me a flop is one that doesn't make Top 100. It's just the stupid old BBC that only goes to 40. Anyway a great track from a great singer. Can't wait for the album. My favourite track off her last album was A Thousand Years.

I wish it was gone already. It was great at first but it has been subject to overkill. I don't mind chart longevity but I hate radio overkill.

Where do you think it will peak. It's a New Entry at #14 in Germany this week When I first heard him I thought he was a black urban singer. K0G9T5Bnjlc

This is a great song from Foxes and she's gorgeous - definitely FOXY! She was also featured vocals on the Zedd song Clarity Where do you think it will peak? Pecj5GGjQi8

The Beatles were kings of the Double A side in the 60s with singles such as: Love Me Do / P.S. I Love You I Want To Hold Your Hand / This Boy Can't Buy Me Love / You Can't Do That We Can Work It Out / Day Tripper Yellow Submarine / Eleanor Rigby Penny Lane / Strawberry Fields Forever All You Need Is Love / Baby You're A Rich Man Hey Jude / Revolution Rolling Stones had 3 19th Nervous Breakdown / Play With Fire Let's Spend The Night Together / Ruby Tuesday We Love You / Dandelion In the US for chart purposes Billboard charted them as separate singles. Many other acts had the odd Double A side One noticeable single in 1979 was that of Boney M: Rivers Of Babylon / Brown Girl In The Ring - Radio mainly played Rivers Of Babylon which became a number one hit. Clubs were playing Brown Girl In The Ring. When Rivers Of Babylon slipped down the charts as far as #21 Radio started playing Brown Girl In The Ring and the single climbed back up the charts to #2. On odd occasions the A & B sides were flipped after release mainly due to popularity. A couple I remember were: Four Pennies - Tell Me Why flopped on initial release and they flipped it so that the original B side became the A side and was a #1 hit. The song was Juliet - back in 1964 Another from 1971 was by Rod Stewart. Reason To Believe was the original A side peaking at #19. It was then flipped so that the original B side became the A side and was a #1 hit. The song was Maggie May.

Best program on the channel by miles. The other 2 series (Love Boat & Mystery Tour) with Brendan we absolute garbage.

American Idol 2014 starts to air from 1st February at 5pm on 5* A 2 hour show taking you nicely to The Voice.

Remember Ella Henderson (who IMO should have won X Factor 2012). This is her new single - Five Tattoos - where will it chart 8IspXD--kg0

Phil Everly has died aged 74 from lung disease caused by a lifetime of smoking. Phil along with his brother Don had a string of hits in the late 50s/early 60s as the Everly Brothers R.I.P.

I also like Charly Webb herself.

What do you think of TV on the main channels over Christmas & New Year?

Jools Holland's Hootenanny looks good this year and worth recording. Some good acts on this year except for the one horrendous singer that's on every year - I mean RUBY TURNER :puke2:

7 time F1 world champion Michael Schumacher critically ill in hospital after a skiing accident. Although he was far from my favourite driver my thoughts are with his wife and children and wish him well and a speedy recovery.

Anyone know where you can get UK singles chart positions 101-200 please?
