Overview Edit

Understanding is a 1972 R&B album recorded by Bobby Womack. for United Artists Records. It charted #43 on the Billboard US Pop Charts, and #7 on the Billboard R&B Charts. Womack recorded Understanding both in Memphis at American Sound Studio and in Muscle Shoals, Alabama. At Muscle Shoals, he utilized top session players, including drummer Roger Hawkins, guitarists Jimmy Johnson and Tippy Armstrong, bassist David Hood, and keyboardist Barry Beckett. One of the key songs from the album was “I Can Understand It,” which inexplicably was never issued as a single. Highlighted by Hood’s hypnotic bass and the effective use of female background singers, “I Can Understand It” has become a soul classic and was a major hit for New Birth the following year.
