Woman's Gotta Have It is a song written by Darryl Carter, Bobby Womack and Linda Womack. Released as a single from Bobby's 1972 album Understanding, it reached #1 on R&B chart and peaked at #60 on the Pop chart. The idea for the song came from a marital situation that Darryl Carter knew of where the wife was about to "tip out" on an unresponsive husband.[1] Carter and Linda Womack (the daughter of Sam Cooke and one-time stepdaughter of Bobby who later married Bobby's brother Cecil) originally wrote the song with Jackie Wilson in mind.[2] The song was recorded at American Sound Studio in Memphis, Tennessee. The song was later covered by James Taylor and included on Taylor's 1976 album In the Pocket. It has also been covered by The Neville Brothers and K-Ci.
