[jiggamannodoubt]

Anybody who could dislike this clearly is not human. This is pure visceral music

[freedompatriot1]

I want Fiona Apple to use me like a boy toy! : )

[tablescarf]

132 people got used for the wrong reasons



[sbalazssarvari]

That's a big YEAH to these kick ass guys!

[mpabadesign]

[JhnWNC]

This is real music. All the singers today dont compare

[TheMVF1]

The drummer is flirtin with me.

[amdag1]

[fasteddy60]

@amdag1 I hear ya brotha !!!!

[able506]

@amdag1 and whatever else they took before there set

[reactorfallout]

That's one of the best like/dislike ratios I've ever seen. Ya see everybody, people do still appreciate good music.

[cardman330]

that's a cut.....!!!

[JustinLat83]

Possibly one of my favorite songs ever, awesome

[mrrosscardno]

coolest band iv ever seen

[tpep55]

The drummer has more soul in one of his afro hairs than any "performer" today has in their entire body

[guitarsncarsnart]

@tpep55 at 1.17 he is as soulful as humanly possible...

[inuitt]

@tpep55 He is funny,yes,but...that man is James Gadson and had played with people like Ray Charles,Herbie Hancock,103rd Street Band (express yourself),Marvin Gaye and others...

He wrote and sang on some songs like the soulful "dance a kiss & a song".

respect,respect for that man.

[theirishjoe420]

By the way, if u like soul music see the movie Poolhall Junkies. Great movie with great music. Has Rick Schroeder, and Christopher Walken in it and Mars Callahan wrote, directed, and stars in it. GREAT MOVIE.

[theirishjoe420]

Thank god for Bill withers. I'm a white guy who gets laid in bars singing his songs. Ladies live a white guy who can sing soul lol. Have to have lived life to sing it right though. Lot of hard drugs and tough times I've been through.

[reeceeooo]

This video makes me laugh. Everyone seems to be in their own little world, doing their own little thing, just cool and layed back

[malko42]

If you want to hear James Gadson playin' 16th notes single handed, which he is one of the best of to play, you better check out 'Hang it up' by Patrice Rushen. Man it's gorgeous.

[mobiledrummer]

James Gadson on the drums

[Jackle61]

@maewyn317 Swiss clock makers dream of making clocks that keep time as tight as he does. 8-)

[nomansland21]

[bkindglassworks]

@nomansland21 Watch Aloe Blacc's 'A take away show' cover of this.

[Hammersley1967]

This version shits on the studio version.

Where can I but it?

[ilovebluewaffles]

@Hammersley1967 agreed it is much better than the studio!

[Hammersley1967]

[MusicIsLife8595]

They're all so chill, except bill, singing like a badass :D god that drummer is awesome, just like the bass dude :D Great record btw :) God i love this song

[ddsce1989]

still reminds me of anchorman when Ron first meets Veronica and tells her that his apartment smells of rich mahogany! Absolute classic though

[zosterholz]

quite possibly THE coolest band of all time. They all are so chill. #swag

[dirkbogarde44]

There's more music out there today, a lot of it great but somehow.....the songs are just never as memorable.

[EGarrett01]

This track is hoooooooooooooooot...

[angrykoopa]

3:12 - 3:18 i just keep playing that over and over again

[ufunkybastard]

let me find out  where the drummer got that suit

[wwjr12]

pringles commercial lol

[PeckerwoodMusic]

man, Snoop Dogg sure IS a mighty drummer.

Diggin it all across the board.

[Nyghtyngail]

the song wouldnt be the same without the drums

[marcobreemhaar]

I'm just watching this because of the drummer.

[DjembeDjam]

I remember playing this song for a mate's recording project in college. It was me on the djembe, her singing and guitar and another girl playing the keyboard line on a flute. I'm dying to hear a version like that again

[WhiskeyTango12]

You just keep on using me until you use me up.

[MrDjmarkd]

what a song . . . its pure amazing !!!!

[maxjordan90]

One of the greatest vocal performances ever. Wow!

[archona54]

Mr. Withers is freaking awesome..it's sad he's not really remembered well...

[Dactuck]

Thanks for posting. Mr. Withers would be proud.

[rees862]

Blah, blah, blahh, blahhh, blahhh...............

[1960bugz]

Wow. wow. Perfect music. This is the kind of music that I grew up with....not the BS Rap Crap I hate so much to hear today.

[dandlerandall]

@1960bugz UGK sampled this in a rap song. Dont hate on country rap tunes

[1960bugz]

@dandlerandall My prerogative. When there's no talent involved, I choose that word.

[macktruck07]

That Drummer has to be Terry Crews!!!!!

[macktruck07]

Damn this is my first time ever listening to this song and Its been on repeat the past hour...I think its the drummer lol I have 2 straws in my hand pretending im playin the drums HAHAHA

[Chugnugget]

why cant i like this twice?

[TheSaverino]

THIS is music..raw and organic, as "they" say now a days.

[SilverTemplePIlot]

The drummer has the Herman Cain smile.

[tajiamgohda]

The drummer is Chuck Norris' black twin.

[anthonytorrey]

Great Song. I love the almost out of tune beat!

[stephenladyfingers]

Man, I would've liked to have been at the before-show party... And, of course, the AFTER-show party. Shit, I bet it was good. So goooood.

[MrAndarai]

[harybosco]

bill withers is a legend

[chome41]

Drummer be trippin...

[bmillerdrums]

Great audio too... Can hear each instrument so clearly. 

[arturoui]

@bmillerdrums It was the BBC in 1972, the show was The Old Grey Whistle Test. I was 19 years old in London. BBC audio was always amazing and occasionally they did simultaneous FM radio broadcasts of TV shows as well...great stuff then but all old hat now

[missmaina]

That drummer is Lil' Jon

[CleanFats]

Figured it out. Look closely at the drummer. Reminds you of Terry Crews doesn't he?

[Fieldy050]

God < The drummer.

[RonSafreed]

First heard this song in 1973, however in the ninties I heard Aaron Neville's version&like his version almost as much as the origional Bill Withers version.

[mirush65]

@RonSafreed Believe it or not ,Mick Jagger(yeah, ROLLING STONES ) "sings" this BEST.Thnx BiLL!!!(Mtl.)

[MegaEightbit]

@mirush65 Well I don't think there is a lot of fact there, to say "believe it or not." Seeing as that is pure opinion.

[mirush65]

@MegaEightbit Good morning Mega;opinions,opinions,opinion­s...what's yours'?

[MegaEightbit]

@mirush65 Still sticking with facts, did you have something intelligent to say or use correct punctuation? Did my comment rile you up that much? Harsh.

[mirush65]

@MegaEightbit Hi Mega, we all hope you feel "better" SOON...peace!!!

[mirush65]

@RonSafreed Hi Ron,it's a rainy Sunday in Mtl.(better than SNOW). Great time to sift through the stacks("vinyl" was old school; now CDs are old school )...Thnx. VIVA LA MUZIKA !!!

[lonaell]

that drummer  is a cool cat lol

[f3oj]

@ 0:50 the guitarist got that head nod...and yall say the drummer is on the good stuff lol

[somekindofaperson]

A great song about a great place to be.

Holly Golightly did a pretty cool similar cover of this song.

[wsp4ever420750]

Those boys are full of life love and soul. That is as raw and pure as it gets. For those who havent been informed, you have to go hear Widespread panics version of this!!!!!!!! Stellar!!!!!!!
