I'm so glad you had the chance to hear Bill Withers. He is a class act. This song came out in 1972, the year I came back to the states from Germany. My son was 10 years old then - he's now a grandfather several times over. Bill Withers died Mar 2020 at the age of 81. A true gentleman.

@rubroken Год назад

I went to Germany in 1972, home in 74

Bill grew up in Slab Fork , West Virginia . It was a Coal Mining town . Bill was inducted into the West Virginia Hall of Fame some years ago . He was one of my favorite artists check out " Grand Mas Hands " by him or Aint no Sunshine as well as I can write left handed RIP Brother

@paulobrien9572 Год назад

An absolute classic that will be around another 50years that it already has been around. Club Nouveau covered this in 86 with an upbeat dance version that's pretty good

@sealdrup Год назад

I consider that an homage. Nothing compares to the original, imho.

@paulobrien9572 Год назад

@@sealdrup Totally agree nothing tops the original

@user-gt2uf8cq9y Год назад

Both Withers and Club Nouveau hit #1 with their versions.

@gabrielmcdonnell8699 Год назад

Club Nouveau’s version is the one I grew up with; BW’s original is my parents 100%. The gap was bridged (for us , at least) with the Morgan Freeman movie which we saw as a family.

@dudeusmaximus6793 Год назад

Bill was a blue collar working man - steel worker I think - who hit it big in music. He was a perfectionist and demanded his own style. Ticked a lot of people off, but the proof is in the pudding, he's got around a half dozen hits and is an iconic figure in music. 'The Dork Side'. Heheheh. Excellent Smithers. Been there a long time.

@user-gt2uf8cq9y Год назад

He was an aircraft and auto assembler. He didn't initally quit his job when "Ain't No Sunshine" was running up the charts. That and "Use Me" are three great songs.

@danielbenincasa770 Год назад

I adore this man's music, his voice and the sentiment of his songs. He is an R&B legend. BTW, I play piano by ear and this is a great tune to pick out the chord progressions. Cheers to middle C!!!! HUGS AND LOVE TO BILL, and to friendship and brotherhood. God i miss the 70s..

Bill Withers was my go-to for years whenever I struggled with a hard breakup or death of someone close. Songs like Lean on Me, Ain't No Sunshine, Grandma's Hands, etc. Withers was an auto worker when he cut his first record.

@TheJohnnywbred Год назад

This is one of the first songs I vividly remember when music on car radio was a big thing. I was around 10 I’m guessing.

@gabrielmcdonnell8699 Год назад

I’m surprised Angela didn’t mention “Lean On Me”, the Morgan Freeman movie. Often the film introduced millennials to the Bill Withers song (if they hadn’t heard it already).

@deepfriedscotsman2860 Год назад

You should listen to a Scottish band that was big in the early 70s called MIDDLE of the Road they had 5 hits in one year 1971 a couple of there songs SOLEY SOLEY / SACRAMENTO etc.

@stanjeffrey6918 Год назад

Bill grew up in Slab Fork, West Virginia about 20 mins from where I live here in Pineville, WV. He joined the Navy at 17 and moved to Calif and this song is based on his up bringing. The blacks lived on one side of the railroad tracks and whites on the other but would borrow items from each other. The song is based on the way people were in Calif and different than WV folks, WV folks helped each other so he came up with this song.

@davids5336 Год назад

Now this artist has a lot of magical music, unlike the other one! My two favorites by Bill are Ain't No Sunshine and the collaboration he did with Grover Washington JR and Quincy Jones on the song Just The Two Of Us! The full version, not the radio edit! Groovy! One more thing! Your reaction was really on point! I totally agree with you on everything you said! The only drawback is that not everyone feels that way! Some people believe that if you can't do it all yourself, you're weak, you're a loser, you're whinny, a malcontent, and many other criticisms like that! Some people just aren't compassionate and don't empathize with you! What can you do! Later persons!

@bradsense7431 Год назад

Another friend theme song you might consider is the 1969 song (studio version please)Friendship Train by Gladys Knight and The Pips. Song has cowbell, funky bass, fuzzy guitar, great vocals of Gladys Knight and also has a wonderful message for all time. It is a gem that reactors miss.
