  • Damn that song just says it all for me....

  • 2 minutes and 10 seconds of pure feeling and emotion.

  • Dante's Inferno?

  • I adore the symphony-esque stuff in the background. Beautiful.

  • This is one of those true classics that will never sound right when performed by any other artists.

  • I Know I Know I Know I Know I Know I Know I Know I Know I Know I Know I Know I Know I Know I Know I Know I Know I Know I Know I Know I Know I Know I Know I Know I Know I Know I Know I Know I Know

  • I don't see no red ... I'v got my little idea of the reason

    why every wonderful singers like him are all dead ?

  • songs like this are very rare, great harmony between poetry and music. I feel melancolic about the changes of music in the Postmodern era, love seems to be vanish:-(

  • Greatness

  • One of the best songs, the best version

  • This song makes me hate everyone and everything just a little less

  • I can't believe this song is 40 years old O.O

  • this song just makes you feel at ease

  • Soooo True! ;o)

  • I miss my baby and love is not ceasing. I wish she is here in bed with me

  • i like this song its short but sweet...

  • This is the cover by 'Al Green'

  • Question CatRelvover? While I genuinely appreciate you posting this on YouTube, I'm curious why there are pics of Lou Rawls, Chuck Berry & Al Jarreau in the slide show accompanying the song?

  • This song is just a classic. As a kid, I thought all of the "I Know"'s in the middle was just great. But as I got older, I learned to appreciate the soul of the song and the heart with which Bill Withers sings it.

    As of 10/7/2011, six people got no sunshine.

  • ............sono in estasi....................

    

  • How are there any dislikes for this video. . ?

  • 666 likes even the devil likes this song

  • i'm going to be mr.666 in the likes (:

  • The only person that's equal to Bill or maybe better is Jose Feliciano. Both versions are awesome and incredible...it's a matter of taste to choose which is better. My opinion.

  • cool

  • I hear this song redone by so many artists. GIVE UP people. No one will ever sing it like Bill! :)

  • @x0x0ke michael jackson done it better

  • @Ronaldo1777messi10 BULLSHIT

  • @x0x0ke listen to michael jacksons! he killed it as a kid!

  • @x0x0ke who told you that they try to sing it like him.....they only sing it with their own style...

  • One of those songs that grabbed me and slammed me against the wall. This man can SING!

  • Amazing song. Still gives me goose bumps. And he's the only one to sing it so well.

  • the pumber......................lo­l

  • Perfect song to listen to on a rainy day... a classic that never gets old!

  • Best Song ever!

  • Beautiful song - sung from the heart. Bill Withers was the real deal alright. You only have to listen to him live to realise this. When he did the Whistle test back in the early 70's - he blew em all away.

  • 6 people are fuckin retarded

  • one of the most remarkably true love songs of all times and to think he was a plumber for awhile................lol

  • Five people don't know what music is.

  • @apostolostv no 6 ppl are super virgins with no girlfriends

  • @apostolostv 6 now lool

  • @apostolostv Nine people don't know what music is.  Nine people listen to Justin Bieber (sorry for using caps on his name) ;D

  • @apostolostv and 1 person shows off how he can count and how other people have different taste in music than you??? silly youtubers and the search for hate just keeps on rolling. heres a thumbs sideways hope its good!

  • Uh... how did Lou Rawls sneak in there?

  • Comment removed

  • @themredweirdoshow No kidding!!!! And Al Jarreau, too (at about 1:20).

  • @jensmusicfaves You're right - that IS Al "Moonlighting" Jarreau! And then just before that Rawls pic is one of... Chuck Berry! WT?!

  • This is the true music

  • this song is the most song that have so many versions from so many singers ... as far as i can tell ... i mean look at the suggestions ... M.J ... Sting ... lenny Kravitz ...and so many others ! if that dose not tell you how GREAT this is song was and still is ... i don't know what the hell is wrong with YOU !

    this is my favorite version i always prefer the original cause you can feel the words coming out from the singer's heart !

    for the 5 haters ... GO FUCK YOUR SELF !

  • That violin is freakin' gorgeous! 1:37 It creates such atmosphere , like if you are laying in bed and looking out the window on a cloudy , stormy day. Bill Withers voice is so soulful , the two elements give the song depth.

  • This song make me think of a world without racism...... and that world is awesome :)

  • great song, from a great singer, brings me back so many memories.

  • click to checkout my own version

  • i gotta thank my beginners guitar teacher for introducing me to and teaching me this priceless classic. sadly i forget his name. haha. is that chuck berry at 0:48?

  • i gotta thank my beginners guitar teacher for introducing me to and teaching me this priceless classic. sadly i forget his name. haha

  • My only complaint about this song : its too damn short!

  • This is a great song. No one sings it like Bill!

  • Even younger generations can enjoy this. Even I have not lived in the seventies, the retro feeling of those times still consume with overwhelming feelings. Great song!

  • Unbeatable, no artist in this day an age could even begin to achieve this level of greatness. Timeless.

  • I totally agree that this song is extremely cool, but, I have to say, in my humble opinion, ninety percent of that coolness comes from Bill Withers. Again, no disrespect to the song and its lyrics, I really do love them, but, Bill Withers owns this song like Christ owns the cross.  (And, for clarity, I'm a huge Jesus fan!)

  • @sneezersneezer

    Christ owns the cross? Ouch...that's painfully ironic...

  • Bill is cool as an ice cube no matter how old he is he is just one of those guys that has so much spirit and talent that he could burp and make it sound good.

  • really good song,i think everyone should listen to this and see what a great song it is

  • man this song saved me it helped me get my gf back after 5 depressing months of agony  ps why is this song only used in mob movies and nothing else

  • I'm not trying to start any drama Bill, but when she come backs you should ask her "Who is he and what is he to you?"...

  • whoever gave me a thumbs down should shut the fuck up, it's my opinion!

  • and the thumbs down was his opinion....

  • lol

  • super smooth sad song...masterpiece!!!

  • agreed

  • this is an awesome song! This is on the Dante's inferno commercial for PS3! This is relaxing, and it makes you think. Especially when the commercial is on!

  • "The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not be in want. He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, he restores my soul. He guides me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake." (Psalm 23:1-3)

  • still one of my favorite songs after almost 40 years. brings back memories from the summer of 1971. this song shows appreciation of a man for his woman instead of songs disrespecting women like some of the songs of today.

  • To mrdawsonlic

  • Bill Withers is an American Legend, and a fine gentleman.

    He came from a Coal Miner's family in West Virginia, and his father died when Bill was very young.

    He is a great man and a fine, fine musician.

    Keep on Goin' Bill!
