The Womack Sisters’ love of music is written in music history. The trio comes from a lineage of the country’s most influential and famous musicians. BG, Zeimani and Kucha may be releasing their work, but that doesn’t stop them from paying homage to their family heritage through song covers.
The Womack Sisters are getting ready to release a rendition of their grandfather Sam Cooke’s “Just Another Day” on Friday after several fan requests.

Often referred to as the “King of Soul,” Cooke was one of the most influential music figures of the midcentury. Not only was he a top-rated performer then, but he also took several stances against racism and held performances in the South despite threats from the KKK.
“He was very brave. He didn’t hesitate to put himself into harm’s way to provoke change,” the sisters said during a talk show appearance.

Cooke was shot to death in circumstances that are deemed mysterious to this day. The performer was the subject of the 2019 Netflix documentary ReMastered: The Two Killings of Sam Cooke.
The Womack Sisters have recently paid homage to their uncle Bobby Womack by covering his hit song “If You Think You’re Lonely Now.”

The trio is inspired by their family history and the legacy of iconic girl groups such as The Supremes and En Vogue.
“They had this sisterhood, and they were just conquering all these different aspects of their life – that’s needed for young people growing up today,” Zeimani said in a previous interview.
“We don’t have a lot of that, and to have that music and that vision of a woman being powerful with other women, that’s something I am so honored to be a part of and to be doing it with my sisters,” she continued.
