I haven't heard some of those tracks in a long time soot. "Ain't No Sunshine" actually brought on some goose bumps. I don't know much soul except for some blue-eyed and psych and of course some of the legends, Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder, Otis Redding, etc.

Three artist I absolutely adore! :grinthumb

I watched some of that documentary today! What a great guy! Even his speaking voice commands respect and he definitely made soul his way under his own convictions! :grinthumb

I love Bill Withers 'Lovely Day' brings back so many happy memories and its a really good upbeat song.

I just finished the Bill Withers film and I thought it was great that Bill could walk away from music rather than writing beyond what his muse had to offer. He didn't release an album since 1985 and wasfine just being a community member and family man. It's awesome seeing him get itchy fingers again and start dabbling in music like he never left it in the film. I have so much respect for the guy! :cheers2

What i was very impressed with was his daughter who has an amazing soul and voice. You hear a snippet of it in here! i hope she releases her own music at some point!
