This week’s Trunk of Funk comes from The Womack Sisters, carrying forward one of soul music’s most celebrated family legacies while forging a sound all their own.

Daughters of the late Cecil Womack and nieces of soul legend Bobby Womack, the sisters grew up surrounded by great music and have continued the family tradition with rich harmonies, heartfelt songwriting and a deep love of soul, funk and R&B.

For this special Trunk of Funk, they open up their record collection for 30 minutes of family influences and the music that helped shape their sound and continues to inspire them today.

Produced by Audio Always in Salford for BBC Radio 6 Music.
