"Each generation needs an art form to license male vulnerability. If maleness comes to symbolize raw competition, how do males learn to offer love, brotherly support and simple humanity?" -Bill Withers
From the Columbia LP "Bill Withers Making Music, Making Friends". An intriguing back story to this is that Bill was ready to hang up his guitar and tamboree and walk away from the music biz due to the inherent corruption, and consigning Africano artists to narrow genres and promotional exposure. That would have been the end I say, if it weren't for some(and I mean many) big names in the music industry dragging Bill back virtually kickin' and screamin'. Check out the original LP jacket's back!
This makes a great song for a "stepdad" to dance with the bride at a wedding when her "biological" dad is present as well. It is not too "daddy's girl-ish" , but wishes all good things for the bride.
Someone must have on accident pressed the thumbs down button. Keep listening.
