Womack’s publicist confirmed the news of his death. "I am sadly able to confirm but I have no details at this time," XL publicist Sonya Kolowrat told CNN. Throughout his later years, Womack suffered from a number of health ailments, including diabetes, pneumonia and colon cancer. It was revealed last year that Womack had the early signs of Alzheimer’s disease.

"With the support of many good doctors, my family, and all of my wonderful fans, I will continue to write and perform and bring the good music to the people for as long as I can," Womack told CNNat the time.

Womack, whose career spanned six decades, was best known for hits “If You Think You’re Lonely Now,” “We Belong Together,” “That’s the Way I Feel About Cha” and “Across 110th Street.” He also penned “It’s All Over Now,” which the Rolling Stones turned into U.S. No. 1 hit.

In 2009, Womack was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Womack is survived by two sons Truth and Vincent.
