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:-(
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.
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.
this song goes out to all the one's that's not here with me anymore.... grandma olive, cuz paul, my father lorenzo, i love you and miss u so much.......gone but never forgotten...thanks for being there for me when u were here....I love you..RIP...
Much love from Saudi Arabia ! This song is just different ! can't explain how good it is in this comment box ! I know I know I know I know I can't write enough !
If you guys love Bill Withers as much as I do come check out my cover of "Ain't No Sunshine", I grew up listening to Bill thanks to my parents and I absolutely love his music. I hope I did him justice but I will let you guys decide. If you enjoy it thumbs this up so someone else can check it out.
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.
@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!
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 !
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.
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?
that's the sound of a man crying for the women of his life , ( sunetul unui barbat care pange pentru femeia vietii sale ). my heart bumps every time i lisent this mel. :X:X:X:X:
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 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 ........
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!
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!)
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.
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!
Mr. Still Bill where are YOU????? We need you and to hear your Philosopy Again!!!! This world needs to hear from YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OLD SCHOOL STYLE!!!!!!!!! Timeless tunes!!!!
i luv dis song. i finally get it. when she gone she aint neva comin back and ur day isnt brightened when she aint dere. bible nerd?? dis a deep song, and it is sad in my case.
"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.
Damn that song just says it all for me....

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.
