He opens with a spoken intro directed to the audience, just as Womack did on so many of his songs: “Fellas, if you have a good woman, treat her right.” You can’t tell me Richardson didn’t have Womack in mind.

The title track opens things up with a bouncy flow and ‘80’s vibe: “I want you girl, I like your body.” Not exactly R. Richardson’s new album, All or Nothing, is radio friendly. Womack, then you must be the real deal, right? Stay tuned for my answer.
