I Can Understand It

I Can Understand It singleThis song was written by Bobby Womack and included in his Understanding album, released in 1972. It has been a favourite in the Kokomo set list since the early days, usually as the last pre-encore number, featuring the band’s soloists (notably Jim Mullen) and some Frank Collins ad hoc choreography.

Included on:

  • Kokomo (first album)
  • To Be Cool
  • Live in Concert 1975
  • Live at the Venue 1981.

An edited version was released as single in US (Columbia 3-10145), with Feeling’ This Way on the B side.
This pairing was also used as for promotion purposes in UK (CBS 3379).

About Kokomo

British soul pioneers, Kokomo, built their reputation and loyal following with awesome live shows. A series of packed reunion gigs since 2014 proved that the band is grooving as well as ever. This led to the "Soul Summit", with old touring partners the Average White Band, that sold out the Royal Festival Hall in 2015.
