The Betrayal Of Sam Cooke - The Bobby Womack Story
For Bobby Womack, audacity was at an all-time high. He showed up to his friend Sam Cooke's funeral, driving his car, wearing one of his best suits, with his widow, whom he ended up marrying three months later, and then cheated on her with her own daughter. Bobby Womack was a menace, and his story is even crazier than that.
