Anyone listen to him? I just discovered him recently. I always new Lovely Day and Just the 2 of us. Never knew who sung them though. Been listening to the greatest hits a good bit lately, and it's really frikkin cool. If you like old skool Soul and Rn'B I highly recommend you check him out. He's Funky as hell :D

    how do you turn a duck into a popstar?

    put it into the microwave until its Bill Withers









    13th greatest joke of all time :)
    oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

    ya gotta love a little "Lean On Me" and "Ain't No Sunshine".

    He's got a very smooth, and soulful voice.

    Bill Withers...a classic sound that blows today's notion of R&B out of the water.

    Good for you for digging into him.

    He just makes me think of really bad early '80s Mars Bar adverts.
