Bobby W @#$%& up Dirty Work - imagine how much better it would have been without his participation..... these guys thinks to much about themselves, should rather praise Jagger for the big work he did keeping RS as a band through the 70'ies and early 80'ies. Without Jagger, Stones would have been gone long time ago.

How??

He "contributed" on Back to Zero - worst song on the CD and worst song in Stones history - should be enough.

The title of the originale article - the one you took this quote from -

Bobby Womack: 'I can sing my ass off, better than I could before'
[www.guardian.co.uk]

and he never said in one sentence that he thinks Mick is a**hole, all I can see
"he had a problem with Mick Jagger' - Alexis Petridis's words
"Some people never grow up if you give 'em too much," he grimaces. "They gonna be @#$%&, then they just become a bigger @#$%&." - Womack's words

so the title of your thread is misleading

It was mostly Keith's idea to get Womack on DW sessions and it was to be his duty to take care of money and everything else for the artist, for whom he carried responsibility.
"Keith Richards had been looking for songs to possibly include on the album and had been working up songs with Ronnie Wood and Womack while waiting for Jagger to return to the studio in Paris after doing promo work on his solo album. To Richards's surprise, Jagger liked the feel and cut the vocals quickly."
The Stones have a history of using people, that's for sure but the Stones not only Jagger - he and Richards get the same money in the end.
Richards just chose the role of the good cop always throwing the blame on Jagger.
I wonder why people which Mick brought to the Stones' had never discredit Richards in the press?
I think it reflects the atmosphere in the the circles of each other. I can not imagine how Tom Stoppard or Michael Apted (Jagger's friends who were doing something for the Stones) will tell anything about Keith exept good

Womack did a great interview with Q Magazine in the mid 80s (It was one of their first ever issues) and recounted a story where Jagger called him in to the studio to work on a couple of songs together, bemoaning the fact that the rest of the band were useless. Womack worked for a night or two with them and the band were all over him like a rash, telling him how wonderful he was and how he'd basically saved the session from being a disaster.

The session closed for the night, Womack asked could someone call him a cab and was amazed to be told that the Stones wouldnt even cover his fare.

He walked out into the street and a few steps later, was accosted by two knife-wielding potential muggers. He was still so livid from the disrespect he'd been shown that he offered to take both of them on, telling them he was 'ready to die right now'. The two guys scarpered.

Does anyone have a good guestimate on how much Womack has received in royalties from the Stones cover version of Its All Over Now?

I am thinking over $500,000 , but that is just a guess.

I read an account somewhere that Bobby was bitter about the Stones' success with IAON shortly after it came out, because it eclipsed his own version which he had recorded not long before. But another R and B performer - might have been Chuck Berry - told him to embrace it because the RS' success would filter down to him in the form of royalty cheques and exposure. It's ironic that the royalty cheques from IOAN ended up being a lifeline for Bobby. And the RS' success did filter down to many R and B and blues musicians, whose careers were revived due to the RS making their material available to a new large audience.

Bobby isn't the only singer who resents Mick's success. Michael Jackson complained that Mick sang flat on their duet, and asked himself how Mick ever got to be a star.

In 1986 the Stones were not really clean and Womack was a HUGE cokehead.

From RONNIE p. 195, "Bobby Womack was also a regular at my house, and whenever he'd come to have a hit on the [freebase] pipe, he'd go straight into the wardrobe, shut the door and stand there in the dark. Hey, where's Bobby? Oh, he's in the wardrobe with the clothes." p. 196, "Bobby and I would wind up locked in the bathroom freebasing, and not come out for days. He was spending so much time at our house with me that Jo actually asked once, `Don't you live somewhere? Don't you have a home to go to?'"
