N.E.R.D. are appearing on Plastic Beach U.S. tour dates in the support. Womack has been called soul music's "only survivor" but his influence transcends many genres of music including gospel, rock, r&b, jazz, pop and, even, country. He started out performing gospel as a child (as part of the Womack Brothers) and later, under the tutelage of Sam Cooke broke new ground in rhythm and blues when the Womack Brothers were transformed into The Valentinos and hit with "It's All Over Now." That song was almost immediately covered by The Rolling Stones and would go on to be the group's very first hit.
