Veteran soul singer Bobby Womack died Friday.

Womack's sister says he passed away in his sleep ... she says they don't know the cause of death.

Bobby struggled with multiple health problems throughout his life ... including diabetes, pneumonia, colon cancer and the early signs of Alzheimer's.

Bobby and his brothers formed a group in the '60s called "The Valentinos" and they recorded the song "It's All Over Now" before the Rolling Stones released their version -- the group's first #1 hit. Bobby also recorded the songs "Across 110th Street" and "If You Think You're Lonely Now."

In 2009, he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Great legendary talent and outsoutstanding career.

Wasn't he just on tour a little while ago like a few months or something? I don't follow his career that closely but I thought I heard about him playing somewhere just a little while ago.

70 years old huh? Man didn't even get a chance to enjoy his 70s and his elderly years.

Dont worry,

This brother LIVED!!!

RI PARADISE....

You had no confirmation or link, and the particular story you posted had been reported as a hoax. This thread's story, however, is confirmed by his label, his sister, TMZ and Rolling Stone.
