Soul legend Bobby Womack has been diagnosed with the early signs of Alzheimer’s disease.

“The doctor said you have signs of Alzheimer’s,” the 68-year-old singer revealed to Gilles Peterson on BBC 6 music. "He said it's not bad yet but it's going to get worse."

“How can I not remember songs that I wrote? That's frustrating.”

Womack, whose career has spanned more than 50 years, wrote and performed numerous hits including “California Dreamin,” “That’s the Way I feel About Cha,” and “Across 110th Street.” He also wrote The Rolling Stones’ first UK No. 1 hit, “It’s All Over Now,” and was more recently inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2009.

“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 CNN following his diagnosis.

“Thanks to all of my fans for their prayers and well wishes,” he added. “I truly appreciate and can feel your love.”

Womack’s current struggle with the early symptoms of Alzheimer’s comes in the wake of his having had several other health issues including pneumonia, diabetes, and colon cancer.

      Rhule beat Cincinnati to open the season, and they are ranked 17th currently.  But even a "down" Nebraska team should beat a "good" Cincinnati team based on talent / recruits alone. Cincinnati is feasting on a very weak pre-conference and Big 12 schedule for 7 wins in a row after losing to Nebraska.  Rhule's extension is Nebraska knowing they won't get anyone better than him, and Rhule knowing Penn State is not going to hire him because he isn't the splash he was 7 years ago, which was unwarranted then and even more so now.  Halloween game for Carolina tonight.  Syracuse starting a kid that didn't take a snap in the offseason practices.  There is a good chance we watch Filardi and Lopez try to outdo one another with who sucks more and can throw a game away.  Still reminiscing on the Halloween game against #2 Miami like 20 years ago when the Heels won on a last second field goal.

      Kaye: Panthers not likely to be "sellers" at trade deadline

      Bottom of the roster churn would be okay with me. If some trades are made some people will be waived/released.    I was citing something in my SEC does not equal NFL arguments a couple of years back and it is the difference one year of NFL and the following offseason do for players.  These guys are not going to be college players if they do it right, year two.

      I know you have seen how I feel about it. Right there with you.   I swear I was listening to the radio of our game and checking some game cast play by play and they do things like ‘deep incomplete 18 yards. I poo you not that is for real. I have no words or too many words.
