"You put your foot on the rock & pat your foot don't stop, put your foot on the rock..." this is one of Bill's funkiest songs... The feel is just so groovy.

I once went through the decades of music on Spotify, and I gravitated towards Bill Weathers time and time again.

@pervertedalchemist9944 6 месяцев назад

Ironic how his most sampled track is also his least known. If you bring up "Kissing My Love" to anyone familiar with Bill Withers, they will have a blank stare.

@diggingthegreats 6 месяцев назад

That depends on the fan - it's definitely a deeper cut, but if you know, you KNOW

Another excellent video! I really look forward to them. Do you think you could do a video on Sly and the Family Stone's 1971 album, There's a Riot Goin On? I'd love to hear your thoughts on it. The music combines drum machines, live drums, clavinets, Bobby Womack, pessimism, paranoia, and more.

@Raucey 6 месяцев назад

"Ain't No Sunshine" is probably the most well known Bill Withers song, and when you search for it on youtube the version you get is an amazing live version where (I'm 99% sure it's him) James Gadson is VIBING. Stealing my favorite comment from that video: "This drummer knows the funniest joke in the universe but never tells anyone, he just keeps thinking about it all the time"

@henryglennon3864 6 месяцев назад

My favorite comment from that video is: "Drummer knows where she's at."

@DrefusX 5 месяцев назад

Yes indeed. This is a childhood classic for me. I had the "Kissing My Love" 45 in my house as a kid, and it definitely was a soulful funky favorite for me. What makes this groove even more special is that most covers of this record keep the same arrangement including the drum intro. James Gadson made his contribution THE definitive part of the song. Such a stone soul CLASSIC. 🔥🔥🔥😎😎👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

@thekendemetrishow 6 месяцев назад

I thought you play hambone on your thigh AND chest, the back of your thigh in fact, hence the term “ham bone”, with just one hand And today is the first time I ever heard a gerund of the term, “hamboning”; it’s “playing [the] hambone” …my dad is almost 80 (I’m 43), he’s a musician too, who was taught by his great-grandfather, a person who was an actual slave (until he was 6) before he learned piano and started preaching, so I got a lot of that turn of the century Southern blues and gospel influence in my own music education…I could play spoons and hambone before I could play piano or saxophone…before I started rapping or composing classical choral pieces… I hate to be “that guy”, but I am that guy lol (That guy does not know everything)

Bit off topic (okay very off topic) but just wanted to share my favourite ever drummer joke. What's the difference between a drum machine and a drummer? You only have to punch the information into a drum machine the once.

@ollylove5727 6 месяцев назад

@dougkiphut1362 6 месяцев назад

Alright. Sorry to be the “but actually…” guy- BUT ACTUALLY. From what I understand the phrase is actually “capturing lightning in a bottle”, meaning it’s something amazing that happened once, but if you try to replicate it you never will because no two lightning bolts will ever be the same. So in the instance of Bill Withers’ drum recording being lightning in a bottle, that’s because it was the harmonious confluence of the right musicians, equipment, and their combined sense of the groove that makes the recording truly one of a kind. Right?

@estebanb7166 6 месяцев назад

Leidsche Flesch, Van Mussenbroeck, 1746, electric shock, auwch, was the first capacitator. "Lightning in a bottle," Ben Franklin, 1752, survived, so he must have tied his kite to a pole, used a Leidsche Flesh to prove that lightning was electricity (a fact that was debated, during that time) , or he captured the charge of a thunderstorm forming by hand (in which case he was incredibly lucky) . William Gilbert (British) coined the term "electric" in 1600. So they lied to you in school, so bending the truth to conform to nationalist lore, is nothing new (they teach you crap in high school, in every country including mine). If you wanna see a actual Van Mussenbroeck, bottle, go to Tijlers in Haarlem. Wich is the namesake for Harlem, which brings us to, the birthplace of hip-hop (according to the "experts" of National Geographic). And without several capacitators that would not have happened either 😂. But all in all a great lecture as ever. Enlightening so to speak.
