The unassuming highlight of the film (Still Bill) finds Withers and daughter Kori (an extraordinary vocalist and songstress in her own right) in a hotel lobby singing through a previously unheard song, 'A Telephone Call Away.' Withers' pensive piano work and perfectly unpretentious lyrics resonate in the acoustics of the rooms vaulted ceiling. The song reaches it's climax when Kori Withers joins in for a down right, gut-bucket yet effortlessly beautiful bridge. This song has recently seen release on George Benson's latest Songs and Stories as a duet with the deep and dulcet-toned Lalah Hathaway. While the song's beauty is still undeniable, for me, you can't beat Bill and Kori Withers in a hotel lobby on a quiet afternoon.

  • Plyerrotab, thanks for posting this. I had been thinking about Bill Withers for some reason and I came across the Still Bill documentary on Showtime. I was happy to see he's still doing his thing the way he wants to. Also his daughter, Kori, has a beautiful voice. I hope to hear more from her.

  • @AzucaNegra16

    You're welcome ;)

    I had to buy the DVD, because I'm living in France and I really loved it !!!! :D

    I became a fan since I have heard "Just the two of us" and now i got all his albums !!!

    He is so brilliant and soulful, and his daughter brings so many emotions in this song ...

  • Ha...ha... The fruit doesn't fall far from the tree. Bill Withers always has this ability to write a ballad that isn't sappy, but meaningful. It's like....if you hear it....you stop what you are doing because you just know you gotta sit down and experience it. He's such a rare bird.

  • Wow...wow! Both of them have been blessed with God-given talent!

  • I love Billl Withers and his daughter is beautiful and also has a strong lush voice. thanks!

  • The voice gets me

  • Living life has given us this hero of mine. From the most early of his music I've sat with emotions of the stories of my life in his music, and now his beautiful Daughter continues History with his - story. Bless you my old friend, with this new energy.

  • "a telephone call away.." What a beautiful voice she has...

  • Bill Withers. Unduplicatable passion. And his daughter? Well, as they say, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. 

  • @fattma1 I'm a grown man and when I see this it makes me cry. There is something so beautiful watching the interraction between the father and daughter. Its like you can feel the love between them...maybe I'm crazy, but it gets me everytime I watch it.

  • when you have something to say people will hear you

  • You got to love this, Kori Withers, powerful voice
