Singer and producer Raphael Saadiq joined a chorus of folks in the hip-hop community by paying tribute to Bobby Womack in song. The pioneering soul singer passed away last week at the age of 70.

From Okayplayer:

Raphael Saadiq puts his musical flame up for the incomparable pioneer of soul Bobby Womack with the heartfelt one-off "Gonna Miss U." The nostalgic soul-chop gets introduced by none other than Snoop Dogg and rocks like a classic ballad with twangy sitar-ish guitar licks -- in the same vein as Jackson 5's "All I Do Is Think Of You" -- paying a proper tribute to our fallen great.
