Just got my dvd of STILL BILL and damn my amazement and respect for this INCREDIBLE artist grows

He is one of the few artists whom is so BS free-its incredible-the segmentts with tavis smiley and dR cornell were priceless

BUT THE BIT THAT KILLED ME........... the chapter where he went down to the fundraiser and discussed his stammering

DAMN! That had my grown cynical ass in tears

so thankyou bill for your AMAZING legacy and your music

to the man who wrote"i cant write left handed" and'aint no sunshine" and many many more

Lovely Day will remain a timeless classic.

And if Grandma's Hands don't move you - you better check your pulse.

OMG, did that get you too? That broke me up.

There's alot of heaviness in his personality, and through the interview all I could say under my breath was "Damn manic depression".

Having said that, he had a great career/legacy that many aspired and struggling artists nowadays would lose a human organ just to have, even though it was pretty short lived.

bill withers is america's poet laureate. no joke. he hardly gets any credit for what he's done. 'hello like before' is one the greatest songs of all times.

Here's an 2007 interview.

Mr. Withers . . . salt of the earth.

In an industry where keeping it macho above all else is the rule, I've admired Mr. Withers vulnerability.
