The niece of legendary R&B and soul singer Bobby Womack blew the coaches away on Monday’s (October 9) edition of
NBC‘s
The Voice, earning four chair spins and a guaranteed ticket to the next round.
JaRae Womack, the 35-year-old from West Palm Beach, Florida, opened up about her family’s musical history before she took to the stage for her Blind Audition.
“My grandfather is amazing; he’s Cecil Womack,” she said. “He was in a group called The Valentinos, Sam Cooke started their career. He did his own solo career. And my uncle Bobby Womack, he ventured off and did his own solo career, and now it’s time for JaRae Womack.”
JaRae did her family proud as she delivered a soulful rendition of
Amy Winehouse‘s “Back to Black,” earning chair turns from all four coaches and a standing ovation.
