"That's the Way I Feel About Cha" is a 1972 single co-written, produced and recorded by American rhythm and blues/soul music performer, Bobby Womack, and also became the musician's first crossover Top 40 single on the Billboard Hot 100, reaching number 27.[1] On the US Billboard R&B chart it peaked at number two, starting a four-year run of R&B hits for Womack during that decade.
The single, co-written by Womack, John Grisby and Joe Hicks, was the second release off Womack's Communication album. It put Womack on the musical map as a solo artist, after he started his career as lead singer of the family musical group The Valentinos, and a period where he achieved success as a sideman for soul acts such as Aretha Franklin and Wilson Pickett, and rock singers such as Janis Joplin and Sly Stone.
