Bill Withers In Conversation With Aloe Blacc At ASCAP EXPO 2015 

"Let your reward be in the doing of it." Maybe the single most valuable piece of advise for any artist, anywhere.

We better cherish him while he's with us.

Love the bible quote. He will be missed. Hope he is in his grandmas hands

How can you not love this man?

He is the most interesting artist of all time, so wise and intelligent

I love the way he straight blunt and to the point and the wisdom that comes out of his mouth I would have loved to had him as a grandfather

My Condolences to His Family Friends and All of His Fans that Loved Him and His Music Rest In Heavenly Peace We Will You and Your Music

Bill Withers. True class act. As good as it gets. Very special human being. Thank you, Bill, for sharing your gift. "If you feel like you have the gift, make yourself available and the world will let your know.... There are happy people that top out playing at holiday in... but they are happy people..... don't value your gift according to where you fall on the scale of professional commercialism... Don't confuse music with the music business..."

This brother dropped mad jewels! Blessed my spirit

He did not sale his soul . Like many artists.. Strange but very wise

I loved Bill Withers I never knew this man but. Just to listen to his music and to listen to him speak. You know while he was here on this Earth he left an incredible impact on us all. God thank you for the time we had him. Rest in peace

I loved him. Been crying and my husband bought me pizza and shrimp to cheer me up. We didn’t know this had happened. I was paying a bill and got the news on the computer about his death.

Great conversation. So cool for Aloe Blac to interview him, from one artist to another. R.I.P Mr. Withers. Thank you for your gifts to the world. Thank you for your music.

A great quote @garyvee from Bill Withers - "If you feel like you have the gift and you want to find out, make yourself available and the world will let you know."

I adore him, I'm so sad right now. RIP Mr. Withers.

So wise, this man. This is a great interview!

RiP legend of soul Bill withers Your legacy will always be caried by us

That man was the absolute truth. When he said "I didn't know a dam thing about the Ghetto & either did Elvis that was as real as it gets.

R.I.P. to Singer/Songwriter/Musician, Mr. Bill Withers. #RIPBillWithers

Smiling tuning into this beautiful man, the legendary Bill Wither's gifted heart, music, wisdom, wit, and soul. Grateful for every drop of Sunshine he gifted us, and while sad for all the beloved family, friends, and fans worldwide, his dimensional leap home to the light, is a gift to Heaven, as we was to Heaven on Earth. May you be lovingly welcomed by Grandma's hands, Spirit, heart, and more, Beautiful Spirit. Thank you for who you are, and for so many easy to treasure, deeply personal, spiritual, beloved gifts alighted in this world. There's something so poignant in his passing at this time marked by many currently at home, and simultaneously as we protect health, love, family and privacy, simultaneously connecting with the whole world. So much synchronicity!

Still Bill

Wow!! I never checked out many of his interviews. I would've love to sit on the porch in the country with him in his later years and talk just for an hour.

I love this! Bill is one of my favorite artists of all time.

one of my favorite interviews of Mr. Withers. He made me smile while hearing him sharing his stories and life.

RIP to the legend. Will always continue listening to you on sunny days in my car with the windows down.

Just for the record In The Getto is a Mac Davis song Elvis covered it. Moving on... The first six notes I ever heard Bill Withers sing over the radio was "Ain't no sunshine when she's gone" and, I was sold. Somebody played his first album for me and when I heard Gramma's Hands I knew that he was just gettin' started, he wasn't even warmed up yet!!! God Speed Dear Sir.

Man what a treasure to be lost! I love him so much!!

Speak the truth Billy! So intelligent, wise and real!

Love Bill Withers! He is the best!! So talented and honest.

Can't believe he is not here anymore

True Legend!!!

I’ve always said when Bill goes we will all be in deep shit. We are RIP ✌️

Rest well🥀

This is awesome!

Love his philosophy about life and success. R.I.P. to one of the most poetic and soulful singer- songwriters.

Bill Withers is a man of the dozen people - or so - I always wanted to meet and have a conversation with.included in my short list is the likes of a _sweet_ man who is a Lama, a former POTUS that honestly likes to be called Billy by other Fellow Americans and who could deny a place on a shelf for my favorite female singer of the 1960's, who called out to my young mind about peace, love and respect.

Rest In Peace Legend❤️💯

Legendary

"I don't know nothin' about no ghetto and Elvis don't either." 😂

That ghetto statement was straight up truthful. I think the same way when going to see my grandmother. Any stops I make in between, I don't want some lowlife trying to sell me a bad mixtape or drugs. *Just passing through*.

I love all His 🎤🎼🎹🎶. In my Playlists, 💯🙋😍💖💖💖👌👋

Rest in peace....bill

Bill putting the “wit” in Withers😎 RIP to a TRUE LEGEND. My soul brother from another mother🙏🏻
