Even though Bobby Womack's legendary career seems to be on a high note right now having being named best album by the Q Magazine awards in 2012 and also being named best album by Clash magazine for the album, "The Bravest Man in the Universe" things are not so good in his personal life. 

The Icon that brought us some incredible music over the years including, 'Harry Hippie', "Lookin' For a Love", "That's The Way I Feel About Cha", "Woman's Gotta Have It", "Across 110th Street" and the 1982 smash "If You Think You're Lonely Now" recently told BBC News his doctors informed him he has early signs of Alzheimer's and it will get worse.

Let's keep Bobby Womack lifted as he goes through this ordeal.

Soul veteran Bobby Womack has revealed that he has been diagnosed with early signs of Alzheimer's disease.

The singer and songwriter, 68, whose tracks include Across 110th Street and Lookin' For a Love, said he had trouble remembering songs and names.

"The doctor said you have signs of Alzheimer's," he told Gilles Peterson on BBC 6 Music. "He said it's not bad yet but it's going to get worse.

"How can I not remember songs that I wrote? That's frustrating."

Womack recently returned to music after having surgery for prostate and colon cancer and suffering pneumonia twice and collapsed lungs.

Last year, he earned acclaim for his first album of new material for 18 years, The Bravest Man In The Universe, which was produced by Blur and Gorillaz frontman Damon Albarn and XL Records founder Richard Russell.

"I don't feel together yet because negative things come in my mind and it's hard for me to remember sometimes," Womack said.

"The most embarrassing thing was when we were getting ready to announce Damon and I can't remember his last name. That's so embarrassing."
