Ha...ha... The fruit doesn't fall far from the tree. Bill Withers always has this ability to write a ballad that isn't sappy, but meaningful. It's like....if you hear it....you stop what you are doing because you just know you gotta sit down and experience it. He's such a rare bird.
Living life has given us this hero of mine. From the most early of his music I've sat with emotions of the stories of my life in his music, and now his beautiful Daughter continues History with his - story. Bless you my old friend, with this new energy.
I saw this on Showtime. It was fab. As i was watching this sceen, I cried like a baby. I starting thinking about me and my dad, who is deceased, all emotions got the best of me. I miss miss him so much.
@fattma1 I'm a grown man and when I see this it makes me cry. There is something so beautiful watching the interraction between the father and daughter. Its like you can feel the love between them...maybe I'm crazy, but it gets me everytime I watch it.
The film is fantastic. She has a beautiful voice. I especially like the part in the film when Bill goes back to his high school reunion and talks about growing up in that little West Virginia town. I think it is Slab Fork.
That was beautiful. I saw the TV Special they did on Bill Withers and I do not want to spoil it but If you saw then you would understand why this particular moment was so poignant.
I saw this on showtime and i loved it. I can't get enough of this documentary i have to go out and buy it. This man is under rated he is beyond good or brilliant. Best of luck alway Bill and your Family.
I just saw the documentary as well and I had to give this another listen!!! what a beautiful song and OMG....Kori absolutely KILLED it!!!! I hope to hear more of her soon cause Blue Blues is a great song!!!
Beautiful! I got the chills when I heard this!!! I had to make it a favorite. Bill & Kori (his daughter) have such wonderful gifts. I look forward to more music from the two of them. Bill is one of my all-time favorite artists!! I really enjoyed the documentary, "Still Bill!"

Oh my goodness. I saw this documentary too. I love the song his daughter Kori sings near the end. It's called 'Blue Blues'! AMAZING. I hope it is released soon. Wow, props on that track.
@fingersinyourmouth!!!!! I want this song so so so so much!!! I keep searching for it. She sang that song!!! I hope someone post it if they do please hit me!!! LOL!!!
Apparently Bill Withers wrote this for George Benson, whose version is also on YouTube. However, I have to say that Bill and Kori's impromptu version is so much more profound, with Bill's soulful, but aging, voice in the first half speaking of a love so familiar, you can hear it's age. And the out-of-tune piano just adds to that feel, when out of the blue comes Kori's angelic voice, resonating from Heaven. Absolutely beautiful.
Kori Kori Kori! That voice cut through the room like a beacon in the night! Gave me goosebumps! One huge atta girl ! And your Daddy>, Whew! Immortal !
Plyerrotab, thanks for posting this. I had been thinking about Bill Withers for some reason and I came across the Still Bill documentary on Showtime. I was happy to see he's still doing his thing the way he wants to. Also his daughter, Kori, has a beautiful voice. I hope to hear more from her.

You're welcome ;)
I had to buy the DVD, because I'm living in France and I really loved it !!!! :D
I became a fan since I have heard "Just the two of us" and now i got all his albums !!!
He is so brilliant and soulful, and his daughter brings so many emotions in this song ...
