[bigboi1953]

When I went to college in june 1971 Bill was one of the people whos music I was turned on to I remember when him and Denise Nichols was the hot couple

[MajikRockwell]

BLU! GONE!

[MajikRockwell]

BLU!

[partidoalto1]

My favorite Bill Withers song. This and 'Can We Pretend' from the same LP that did not get the recognition and distribution it deserved. Nor the airplay. Tells you what the programming directors and music labels were thinking then. And now.

[SVLocksmith]

bluuuuuu

[nicklong1981]

i slept on this dude for far too long ALL his songs are good!

[saffyre915]

I'm falling in love with his music. every "new" song makes me really feel like i missed out on a golden age of music.

[AugustRae85]

This song sounds very similar to "let me in your life"

[swt32567]

Para ti "Pooh"

Felcidad

"Tigger"

[cnboston1223]

Gorgous song



[128djxcel]

Black Rain

[harpervvv]

[EmmaEwa]

[ocnoreen]

Great song, love Bill's music.

[crisaloka]

J... make a smile for me

[swt32567]

I dedicate this song to my 1st Love. "Tigger" & "Pooh" 1974.

Te-Amo mi amor.

[pabankhead1]

STILL BILL we love and Miss you !!!

[1408alan]

What a tender song. It works on so many levels, and could be addressed to anyone in the singer's life. Parent, child, lover, friend, even a stranger! A smile costs nothing to give, yet is so priceless for the recipient. A truly captivating performance.

[jessjoy777]

tear*** so fuckin beautiful. where would i be without your smile, bill!

[bazilisk]

I don't like this genre at all (yet, haven't looked at it much, more into rock and punk.) But holy crap, this is a completely beautiful, emotionally resonant song, with gorgeous melodies and an incredible singer. It touches my heart so deeply. You can hear his hope and his sadness at the same time. <3 <3 <3

[xSUBn]

Hearing songs like this one and Grandma's Hands from Bill helped shape the composer I grew-up to be. I wrote a lot of relationship ballads in my youth before the Lord recruited me to write for Him, using it for His perfect purpose. Thank God for parents that loved good music. We have the 45 for this song. Almost wore it out until I transferred to tape (Ha!) - Now I need the CD or MP3 file.

[roseinthepages]

Carefully ellicits the man on the inside; gentle, careful, thoughtful.

[rob068]

Awesome song. +Justments CD comes out next week!

[bigben1986]

panacea

[mjh654321]

You got the right!!!

[massprod]

i got the 7 inch, is incredible

[jpeditor]

@massprod Is this the same arrangement as the 45? I used to have it.

IIrc, the A side was his hit "AInt No Sunshine When You're Gone. But I remember a different arrangement... TIA!

[DJPeck1]

HIP - HOP !

[tiana1017]

i never heard this song before, love this song.. wow, this is so beautiful, so touching, im just upset that I barefy heard of this song, I need to buy it.. I caught this by accident by video and this was a related video

[Tgreenfi08]

@tiana1017 I feel exactly like you did. I found a version of it with drums in the sound cloud.

[retoryx2]

Everything is good with Bill.

Comfort

[Germ303]

dammn!

original voice Yo;

[sverrir48]

Blackrain - Citizen Kane!

[rtoriq]

DAMN i just thought of sth....what if D'Angelo made a version of this song??? He has the fingers to re-create old songs without taking out the soul, and it would be so interesting to hear him sing this.

[partidoalto1]

@rtoriq It would sound interesting but he will never come close to the soul and crystal of Bill Withers' voice and intonation.

[soulie101]

wow,what a voice,so distinctive, beautiful track,love it

[coolsweetgroovy]

this is too cool thanks

[konhghs]

GOOD!! Very GOOD!! merci Bill!!

[Califfa700]

A good music to play in lazy afternoon, just heard this in our local radio station here in the Philippines like an hour ago :)

[tiana1017]

I never heard this song on any radio station in the US.. then again maybe they used to play it back in the 70s or something..

[billymek1]

taken me right back to my last year in school..

[rtoriq]

Such a beautiful artist, inside and out.

--------------

and reflect.

[Caicosbwoi]

he's telling the truth....a smile can change ya whole sensation! beautiful song

[onecup77]

It really doesnt get any better, tender, warm, and absolutely timeless.

Purifys the soul.

If i had to choose only one song for the rest of my life....................

[lydiaespino12]

beautiful.

[davidvanleeuwen]

Awesome. This song is so Beautiful.

[NGC660]

...very lovely...

[Williefaylona]

Still one of my faves till now...

[bebotdc]

Clean and Smooth . . .

[GZuraman]

How many hours have I listened to that song? It makes me feel... just... tender. One of my favorite BW songs. I JUST LOVE. It makes me feel in love with life. (Cuántas horas he escuchado esa canción? Me hace sentir... simplemente... enternecido. Una de mis canciones favoritas de Bill Withers. Me hace sentir enamorado de la vida. Y tengo que agregar... que Bill Withers es uno de mis artistas favoritos. Simplemente encantador.

[JuggB]

Damn no wonder Panacea picked the sample from this song. So I guess I always loved this song without realizing it.

[rtoriq]

Don't you just love how some samples can put you on to music you never knew existed? i know a lot of ppl knock sampling, but sometimes it makes people realize how good the music of the past really was. And since panacea sampled it, i now know another facet of Bill Wither's talent.

Sampling can do that. Hip-hop can do that.

----------------

and reflect.

[birdman987654321]

@rtoriq Panacea's sample was pretty dope. Check out Citizen Kane's sample of it in "Black Rain".

[cratedigga80]

HAMMER CITIZEN KANE SAMPLE.

[tochiRTA]

"and a smile from youuuuuu"

CLASSIC CLASSIC CLASSIC. That Blackrain track is one of the greatest hip hop tracks to come outta Canada, easy. It blew my mind when I found out it was sampled from here.

[lokijordan]

I can't hep wonder if one of his touchstones (as a singer/songwriter) might have been Nina Simone.

[Herkimer291]

Only a true bill fan knows about this joint.

[tasha777]

such a beautiful song,thank you

[ppehsy]

Make a smile :) for me is a B side of one of Bill's big hits i can't remember which anyway..... it should have been the A side Lean on me is and Use me are way overplayed signature songs I am so GLAD that someone pulled this GEM out of the vault!

[steeljet]

Im a huge Bill Withers fan, but I have missed alot of his great songs like this one.The more I hear the more I love his music.

[soulkiddy]

@steeljet , Yes mate I managed to miss this also ! A friend emailed it to me yesterday... just awesome

[faintmelody]

so beautiful!

[Auriaprottu]

Bring it back!

[icon200]

thanks Bill!

nice

[mld96]

I've been looking for this song for at least 15 years. Tony Brown used to play this song when I was younger on WDAS FM in Philly. It's not available anywhere on cd. Thanks WESTSAVANNAH. This was my fathers favorite.

[jonesyl15]

This is a beautiful song. I've only heard one other track from this album, "Heartbreak Road".
