Bill Withers - Who Is He (And What Is He to You)
William Harrison "Bill" Withers, Jr. (born July 4, 1938) is an American singer-songwriter and musician who performed and recorded from 1970 until 1985. Some of his best-known songs are "Lean on Me", "Ain't No Sunshine", "Use Me", "Just the Two of Us", "Lovely Day", and "Grandma's Hands". His life was recently the subject of the documentary film Still Bill.
Withers was born the youngest of thirteen children in the small coal-mining town of Slab Fork, West Virginia. Raised in nearby Beckley, West Virginia, Withers was thirteen years old when his father died. He enlisted with the United States Navy at age eighteen and served for nine years, during which time he became interested in singing and writing songs. Soon after his discharge from the Navy in 1970, he relocated to Los Angeles for a musical career.
Withers worked as an assembler for several different companies, including Douglas Aircraft Corporation, while recording demo tapes with his own money, shopping them around and performing in clubs at night. When he debuted with the song "Ain't No Sunshine" he refused to resign his job because of his belief that the music business was a fickle industry and that he was still a novice compared to other acts.
Lyrics
A man we passed just tried to stare me down
And when I looked at you, you looked at the ground
I don't know who he is but I think that you do
Dag gummit
Who is he and what is he to you
I have something in my heart and in your eyes
Tell me he's not someone just passin' by
And when you cleared your throat was that your cue
Dag gummit dag
Who is he and what is he to you
Now when I add the sum of you and me
I get confused and I keep coming up with three
You're too much for one man but not enough for two
Dag gummit
Who is he and what is he to you
Hey you tell me man don't have not much for intuition
That what you really think or are you wishin'
Before you wreck your old home be certain of the new
Dag gummit
Who is he and what is he to you
Dag gummit
Who is he and what is he to you
Dag gummit
Who is he and what is he to you
Dag gummit
Who is he and what is he to you
