Happy birthday to the legendary Bill Withers, born on this day in 1938! He is known for having several hits over a career spanning 18 years, including "Ain't No Sunshine" (1971), "Grandma's Hands" (1971), "Use Me" (1972), "Lean on Me" (1972), "Lovely Day" (1977) and "Just the Two of Us" (1980) (recorded in collaboration with Grover Washington Jr.). What’s your favorite Bill Withers song?
@SVG__Collection Total icon! HBD Legend ! 💥🫶🏼✊
@SVG__Collection youtube.com/watch?v=L9dCl4… One of my favorite docs is Soul Power. I recently worked on a doc about composer Charles Fox (Killing Me Softly), and got to meet his brother Bernard, who worked as a sound engineer on Soul Power/Zaire Music Festival. Couldn’t wait to hear all the stories.
@SVG__Collection Yes we remember Bill “Ain’t No Sunshine” Withers. He performed yesteryear at the Playboy Club in STL for a week. I chauffeured him around our town for media appearances. Who knew?
@SVG__Collection Timeless. Soulful. Bill Withers forever.
@SVG__Collection I have always said that if I could only have 10 albums, Bill Withers Live at Carnegie Hall would be one of them - I love his big hits but am also fond of “I can’t write left-handed.”
@SVG__Collection "I Can't Write Left-Handed" youtu.be/__4_fCgjI74?si…
@SVG__Collection He is truly one of my favorites. Lovey day!
@SVG__Collection Use Me and I can’t write left handed are 2 of my faves
@SVG__Collection IMO, the most underrated and under appreciated man in R&B. My favorite song is Use Me, but he has an awesome catalog.
@SVG__Collection "Hope she'll be happier with him", used to be my go to lullaby to put my daughter to sleep when she was a baby.
@SVG__Collection Who is he (and what is he to you)?
@SVG__Collection Lean on Me is best starter song for piano students.
@SVG__Collection Grandmas hands may be my favorite of his many great songs. Just so much emotion and respect and truth...
@SVG__Collection Use Me. That song is sneaky funk. It comes dressed as a regular acoustic jam, but by the end of the first verse you look around and you're all funked up.
@SVG__Collection A wonderfully talented musician and storyteller!❤️🔥
@SVG__Collection Use me, can't write left handed and what is he to you. Him and Stevie and the 2 greatest soul artists ever.
@SVG__Collection Memories Are That Way. Also the live version of Better Off Dead.
@SVG__Collection This guy is so underrated. Love his whole vibe. Use Me 💙
@SVG__Collection I discovered this via Spotify's suggestion engine. Became my Wither's favorite: open.spotify.com/track/0vJ3Y2Mn… Sweet Winona
@SVG__Collection Uma voz doce, meiga e ao mesmo tempo tão poderosa. De notas longas e respiração perfeitas. É como estar de olhos fechados e sentir a música tocar a alma. Ouvir cada tom, cada verso e poder tocar as nuvens. Genial, único, maravilhoso. 🌹
@SVG__Collection Happy Heavenly Birthday to Bill Withers. 🎂 🥳 🎉 🎈 🎁 🎊
@SVG__Collection Saw him play with Eric Clapton at the Royal Albert Hall
@SVG__Collection Still Bill is a masterpiece with the brilliant I Don’t Want You On My Mind
@SVG__Collection Grandma’s Hands - from Live at Carnegie Hall Then - I Can’t Write Left Handed…
