Barbara Cooke married her late husband's guitar player, Bobby Womack, on February 24, 1964, sixty-six days after Sam Cooke was buried. Womack was 21.

They divorced in 1970. Barbara Cambell-Cooke Womack lives in the US.

Sam and Barbara Cooke's daughter, Linda, married Bobby Womack's brother, Cecil, who was divorced from singer Mary Wells.

Linda and Cecil wrote, performed and recorded music together under the name Womack and Womack.

Linda Womack now lives in Africa and, as The House of Zekkariyas, she and her seven children record music. Linda is also known as Zeriiya Zekkariyas.

Mary Wells later married another of Bobby's brothers, Curtis Womack.
