Thanks for posting this gem. Funny how Mr. Withers can make painful truths sound so toe-tappin', soulfully great.

I used to play the LP on 45rpm and that made this song even funkier!!! Bill Withers and Bobby Womack are all you need for some real truth about life and love.

I have this on repeat!!! Love this!!! Love it!!! Thanks for posting!!!

OMG! I just rediscovered one of my all time favorites songs. Music was so awesome when I was growing up.

There is one dislike too many!

Man, this song is so banging. Withers is a genius! Speaking the truth over these grooves...
-
Bill Withers is a master story teller of song!

@solesirching73. Actually, Bill ex-wife, DENISE NICHOLAS, wrote "Can We Pretend". This gospel-soul compo sounds soooo out of place with her ramblin' California profile.

There's at least one FOOL in the world, how could you NOT like this song?....soulful, real, and sang by the GREATEST OF ALL TIME!...LOVE BILL WITHERS!!!!

@solesirching73 Yeah, but Bill Withers sang it like no one else could, besides most of the great singers don't write most of the songs they sing. He wrote or co-wrote most of his, thats why, to me he's the GREATEST OF ALL TIME!!!!.....LOVE BILL WITHERS!!!!!

Withers recorded this song way back in 1974! The lyrics and music are timeless! A great song that many of us can relate to.....
Great post. Dionne Farris (former Arrested Development member and wonderful talent as a solo artist) remade this song awhile back. I was wondering why I seemed to know the lyrics so well. . . must have heard it as a child. Love Bll Withers, such an awesome story teller!
