- The Womack Brothers, “Couldn’t Hear Nobody Pray,” 1962. Formed in the Cleveland Baptist church where their steelworker father was a part-time minister, the sweet-voiced Womack family vocal group (featuring five brothers) cut this gospel track on mentor Sam Cooke's label when Bobby was already a brash, accomplished 18-year-old singer-guitarist (soon to be touring with Cooke).
- The Valentinos, “It’s All Over Now,” 1964. A rawboned, rattle-trap country-rocker far from the Womacks' gospel-family beginnings, "It's All Over Now" was written by Bobby with his sister-in-law Shirley, and looked to be a breakout hit.
- Wilson Pickett, “I’m in Love,” 1967. After Sam Cooke's sudden death in December of 1964, the Valentinos took a break and Bobby became closer to Cooke's widow Barbara, whom the 21-year-old married only months later.
