The Valentinos Aka The Womack Brothers Teenage Dream
The Valentinos Aka The Womack Brothers Teenage Dream
Struggling to deal with the sudden loss of Cooke, the group lay low. Not long after Cooke was buried, however, in March of the following year, Bobby, who had just turned 21, married Cooke's widow, 29-year-old Barbara Campbell. Womack would claim later that he initially had wanted to console Barbara after she lost her husband fearing she "may do something crazy" because of the attention given to Sam Cooke's stature. Womack, his family and friends later say that Barbara fell in love with Bobby and convinced him to marry her. Womack even wore one of Sam's suits to the wedding by Barbara's request. The marriage angered many of Cooke's loyal fans due to the fact that Cooke's death was still being investigated at the time. In response to the negative attention, Bobby chose to leave the Valentinos and start his solo career in 1965, first recording for Him Records and later the Chess Records subsidiary, Checker. But due to the Cooke scandal, radio deejays refused to play his records and onstage, he was often referred to as "the kid that married Sam Cooke's wife". Womack settled on session work for the time being as a rhythm guitarist, beginning in 1966, while the rest of the Valentinos, who had initially disbanded following Cooke's death, was urged by Bobby to regroup. The foundation of the Valentinos started in church where the five Womack brothers - Friendly, Jr. (born 1941), Curtis (born 1943), Bobby (born 1944), Harry (1945--1974) and Cecil (born 1947) - performed at their father Friendly's church located from the East 85th & Quincy area of Cleveland.[1] The group started out around 1952 when eight-year-old Bobby Womack played guitar for his father after he had broken a string. Following this, he discovered that all five of his sons could sing, forming the Womack Brothers. Attracting a gospel following, in 1954, the group, under the name Curtis Womack and the Womack Brothers, cut a single, "Buffalo Bill" with the Pennant label; both Curtis and Bobby Womack were only ten years old at the time of the recording.[2] In 1956, Sam Cooke discovered the group performing while he and his then group, The Soul Stirrers, were headlining and was so impressed with the brothers that he promised to help the group advance in their careers. In 1960, a couple of years after he founded SAR Records and becoming a crossover solo sensation, Cooke made good on his promise signing the teenage act to the label. The group arrived to California in a beat-up Cadillac prior to Cooke signing them. Still going by The Womack Brothers, SAR cut two gospel singles the group recorded in 1961 and 1962 including "Somebody's Wrong" and "Couldn't Hear Nobody Pray".[3] After the singles failed to chart, Cooke advised the group to go a secular direction. Upon this, they changed their name to the Valentinos and while both Bobby and Curtis continued to switch leads, Sam Cooke reportedly favored Bobby and while some SAR singles featured Curtis in lead, the Bobby-led singles would garner the most airplay.Labels Pennant, SAR, Chess, Jubilee, Clean Associated acts Sam Cooke, Mary Wells, Bobby Womack, Cecil Womack Past members Friendly Womack, Jr. Curtis Womack Bobby Womack Harry Womack Cecil Womack- published: 30 Aug 2012

The Valentinos - Sweeter Than The Day Before - Northern Soul Top 500 #110
"Sweeter Than The Day Before" by The Valentinos More available at http://www.northernsoulofficial.com/ This soul group was comprised of the five Womack brothers from Cleveland, who started singing Gospel music in their father's church until in 1956 they were discovered by Sam Cooke. Cooke was impressed by the group and promised to help them out, which he fulfilled in 1960 when he started his SAR Records label and had the brothers, then known as The Womack Brothers, come out to California to record. Their first two recordings were gospel singles and after they failed to chart, Cooke advised the group to switch to secular music as he had done. They changed their name to The Valentinos and recorded "Lookin' For Love", which hit both the R&B; and Pop charts, sold over two million copies and landed them a spot on James Brown's national tour. The next year Bobby Womack started touring with Cooke as his backing guitarist until in 1964 tragedy struck when Cooke was shot and killed at a Los Angeles motel. The group laid low for awhile after Cooke's death and then a huge scandal broke when Bobby married Sam Cooke's widow just months after his death. He left The Valentinos to start a solo career but the nation was still reeling from the scandal and radio deejays refused to play his records and Cooke's fans haggled him on stage. The remaining four Valentinos were signed to Chess Records in 1966 and it was during this time that "Sweeter Than The Day Before" was recorded. However this single, and the other recorded at Chess never reached the charts and the label dropped the group shortly after signing them. Then, another brother, Cecil, left the group to marry Motown singer Mary Wells. The remaining three brothers attempted to release two more singles and after not reaching any success, they disbanded. Bobby Womack went on to have a successful solo career, but the family dynamic was plagued by controversies and tragedies and The Valentinos never reformed. Images of The Valentinos and Mods.
