Bobby Womack が，Minit, Liberty, United Artists からリリース(1967-1976) したシングル集。
編集盤以外のオリジナルな LP に収録されていなかったのは I-1. 2. 4. 6. の４曲だけ。その中で気になるのは，D.Penn, D.Carter, B.Womack, S.Oldham というクレジットのある ↓ 。

　↑ について，ライナーノート(Bob Fisher) には，a dance number, inspired no doubt by Pickett's Top 10 hit 'Funky Broadway' that August とある。

'Trust Me'(I-2.) は 'Trust In Me'(II-23.) のデモ録音のような曲で，Janis Joplin や Wilson Pickett が 'Trust Me' として歌っているのは，'Trust In Me' のほう。

オリジナルな LP に収録されていなかった曲はわずかだが，アルバム・タイトルの 'Everything's Gonna Be Alright'(II-21.) のように，シングル用の編集バージョン(4:11，LPバージョンは 7:06) もいくつかあるので，オススメ。

'I'm Gonna Forget About You'(I-19.) には Sam Cooke のクレジットがあり，歌詞は Sam と共通する部分が多いけれども，The Valentinos としてのバージョンとは異なり，ほとんど別の曲のようなアレンジが施されている。
