Valentinos

The Valentinos (also known as The Womack Brothers) was an American family R&B group from Cleveland, Ohio, best known for launching the careers of brothers Bobby Womack and Cecil Womack. Bobby went on to find greater fame as a solo artist while Cecil became successful as a member of the husband and wife duo of Womack & Womack with Linda Cooke (daughter of Sam Cooke). The group was well known for R&B hits such as the original versions of "Lookin' for a Love", notably covered by the J. Geils Band and later a solo hit for Bobby Womack, and "It's All Over Now", covered by the Rolling Stones.
==Links to Peel==
Peel played some of the Valentinos' records in the 70's and 80's. However, he didn't seem to play any of their material beyond that, although he did play tracks from some of the member's solo pursuits. After his death in 2004, it was later found that Peel had a copy of the group's 'Bobby Womack & The Valentinos' album in his Record Collection: V.
