Bill Withers - Hope She'll Be Happier - Zaire 1974

[joshyboyyyy]

I can relate to this on such a deep level you don't even know I like this girl and I just can't bring my self to ask her out cause I would not want to embaress her to be with someone like me and it kills me since I started having these feelings and watching other guys hurt her =\

[skyfresh83]

[joshyboyyyy]

@skyfresh83 thanks man but i doubt it will =\

[Punkutation]

My all time favourite song and performance... freakin amazing

So devoid of ego. and what a beautifully simple accompaniment.

[frederiquelevy1980]

<3 <3 

[MrReds1990]

only 24 thousands hits,thats more incredible than the song

[jordanebert]

one of the most emotionally charged performances I've ever seen. Amazing!

[Jayee123]

What an artist!!!

[branty1uk]

Soul.

You can see at the end what he puts into the song.

[PATRICELUMUMBAS]

viva  congo

[dave123abc123]

to me this is real music passion,heart emotion not like the stuff 2day with 6 packs hanging out everywhere singing crap about money, women and gangs and im only 23

[SupaStarry]

Oh Bill...you killed.

[lsv8dubs]

Holy shit, wake up smoke a joint and watch this video bitches!!! SCIENCE!

[cirfia]

i listen to bill withers everyday...what an amazing legend!

[corwinofamber8]

Great performance. Real music unlike about 98% of the digital image driven garbage today. You can hear the love, sincerity and anguish within the song. I also watched Soul Power about three weeks ago and it was amazing if anyone hasn't seen it.

[ithajean]

Damn!

Sam Cooke.Otis Redding.Eddie Levert.Bobby Womack.Al Green.James B

What happened, where and why did this type of genius dissapear, can we get it back? I though I heard splashes when i herad Jaheim and Anthony Hamilton. Not Maybe the slave legacy that spawned the blues and real soul is gone.

Like Billy08834 said it this song (like all the great ones) breaks your heart and forces you to keep listening till you cant listen no more.

Damn!

[supplydahigh09]

look at the band sit back in the darkness as GOD SINGS!

[teetpiece]

rock it. never heard this one

[KosmasMJpec]

You dont have to say anything....You just have to hear him and Feel Him.......Incredible....

[KosmasMJpec]

YOU DONT HAVE TO SAY ANYTHING eimead....You just have to hear him..........and fell him....INCREDIBLE....

[hkroc]

amazing. all i can say to describe this. what musician today can come close to a performance like this? music has regressed so much its unbelievable. BITTERSWEET video because this just makes me realize how fckin wack our days "artists" are.

[Johnbird204]

@hkroc check out an artist called Foy Vance, Bill Withers is my favorite writer of all time but check out this guy, you'll be blown away.... good music still lives on.xx

[BillyO8834]

i can't stop listening to this. no matter how many times it breaks my heart.

[mimiandy1683]

I had discovered this song yesterday while watching this documentary on television.

[TheDatasureal]

Speechless.

[noelstate]

I bought soul power because of Bill and he only had one song! WTF! This song is more powerful than Jesus to me. The only time Bill really talked on the Dvd was to stop Ali from rambling about bullshit in America. O.K 1. Where was Bob Marley 2. I'm sure they tricked Bill into performing. 3. I think Ali was hit to hard in the head and became a racist against blacks if you ask me. 4. Don King is probably the main person that profited from this besides the other white jews that helped him make this

[wdfmusician]

i have no words! that's just sooo GREAT!

[michimarubeni]

I just watched some of "Soul Power" and my God, amazing.

[MosDef3000]

I don't see many singers today singin with they heart like this man here!

[rebirth61]

A classic haunting heartbreaking track dusted off and brought to the fore from almost 40 YEARS AGO, never forget REAL SOUL MUSIC such as this. If you are loving this for the first time ALSO try 'Hello like before' and then, from 85 the 'Watching you watching me' album tracks You just can't smile it away/Whatever happens/You try to find a love. All of these tracks are raw-like, you FEEL in shock from the intensity, and almost crack you up, but after all, there is ONLY 1 BILL WITHERS

[tiana1017]

this brings tears to my eyes.. l remember my dad would play his live from carnegie album a lot, I loved that record, I have it now

[Ezzzable]

I'm not sure if i'm happier...

[tiana1017]

@Ezzzable so u left the person u were with and now ur not sure if you're happier wiht the new person?

[hugrydugry]

[Ezzzable]

Sorry!

MY...

[Ezzzable]

@MrXyZeR I'msMy!

[skwerd1000]

Amazingly good. That whole movie is amazing!

[kobrakai15]

God, I can emphasise with this so much. Such a moving song, means a lot to hear this, it hurts so much to see someone you love to leave...

[Damali5610]

I am still in love with Still Bill - this touches my spot

[darost]

When they showed this movie at the Alamo Drafthouse here in Austin, this one song got universal applause from the packed house.

[Mcgeemob72]

AMAZING!!! One of the best songs and performances!!

[eimead]

[warriorsongmusic]

[kathleencarson]

@eimead yeah! I have a million words and yet i have no words. depth, feeling, soul, ect just dont cut it. It has a defination all of its own. I feel blessed for knowing and hearing it. And i think i speak for all. ..... Thankyou Mr Withers...... RIP
