  • Biu Withers by Rob Bowman He Was the Leading Figure in the Nascent Black Singer-Songwriter Movement of the Early 1970S
    PERFORMERS BiU Withers By Rob Bowman He was the leading figure in the nascent black singer-songwriter movement of the early 1970s. BILL WITHERS WAS SIMPLY NOT BORN TO PLAY THE record industry game. His oft-repeated descriptor for A&R men is “antagonistic and redundant.” Not surprisingly, most A&R men at Columbia Records, the label he recorded for beginning in 1975, considered him “difficult.” Yet when given the freedom to follow his muse, Withers wrote, sang, and in many cases produced some of our most enduring classics, including “Ain’t No Sunshine,” “Lean on Me,” “Use Me,” “Lovely Day,” “Grandma’s Hands,” and “Who Is He (and What Is He to You).” ^ “Not a lot of people got me,” Withers recently mused. “Here I was, this black guy playing an acoustic guitar, and I wasn’t playing the gut-bucket blues. People had a certain slot that they expected you to fit in to.” ^ Withers’ story is about as improb­ able as it could get. His first hit, “Ain’t No Sunshine,” recorded in 1971 when he was 33, broke nearly every pop music rule. Instead of writing words for a bridge, Withers audaciously repeated “I know” twenty-six times in a row. Moreover, the two-minute song had no introduction and was released as a throwaway B-side. Produced by Stax alumni Booker T. Jones for Sussex Records, the single’s struc­ ture, sound, and sentiment were completely unprecedented and pos­ sessed a melody and lyric that tapped into the Zeitgeist of the era. Like much of Withers’ work, it would ultimately prove to be timeless.

    Journal of Interdisciplinary Science Topics Lean on Me – Can Bill Withers stay true to his word? Jake Morris & Matt Perkins The Centre for Interdisciplinary Science, University of Leicester 27/03/2018 Abstract This paper aims to calculate the amount of force that Bill Withers would have to exert in order to support the people that have listened, or are listening to his song, Lean on Me, based upon the analytics from YouTube and Spotify. This will consider two scenarios: one in which everyone who has ever listened to his song leaned at him all at once, and another where all the concurrent listeners are leaning on him at any given time. These will be modelled through the use of component forces. The force that Bill Withers would have to exert when everyone leans on him at once, is calculated to equal 2.27×1010 N. The total force for the listeners at any given time is determined to be 19560 N. Introduction will be assumed that no sliding takes place. Bill The song Lean on Me was released in April 1972, by Withers is 1.87 m tall [4], and the average person’s the American singer songwriter Bill Withers [1]. In the height, representative of the constituents of the song Bill Withers sings “lean on me, when you’re not single mass being modelled, is 1.7 m tall [5]. If the strong”. This raises the question; what if everyone average head height, 23.9 cm [6] and neck length, that has listened, or is currently listening to the song 11 cm [7], for men, are taken away from Bill Withers’ took him up on his promise? This paper will height, the height that his shoulders are off the investigate the force Bill Withers would have to exert ground is found to be 1.52 m.

Donald Trump has been using Neil Young songs at his campaign rallies for years now — he literally first announced his candidacy to “Rockin’ In The Free World” — and Neil Young has been annoyed at Donald Trump for using Neil Young songs at his campaign rallies for about as long. Just last week, following Neil Young-soundtracked rallies in Tulsa and Mount Rushmore, Young announced that he was considering suing Trump over the issue: I am changing my mind about suing Donald Trump. Reconsidering. I am looking at it again. There is a long history to consider and I originally considered it, deciding not to pursue. But then President Trump ordered thugs in uniform into our streets. His idea. He ordered this himself.

  • A Conversation with Bill Withers by Bill Demain (Puremusic.Com, 9/2005)
    A Conversation with Bill Withers by Bill DeMain (Puremusic.com, 9/2005) A black man wearing blue jeans and an orange turtleneck sweater sits alone on a stool. He’s slightly hunched over his acoustic guitar. Eyes closed, sweat glistening on his brow, he begins to pluck out a progression of soft minor seventh chords. The groove established, he sings, “Ain’t no sunshine when she’s gone, it’s not warm when she’s away…” Thirty years on, the voice is still electrifying, a sound torn directly from the soul. There are no showy mannerisms or melismas. Just pure feeling. It’s a classic R & B voice, with echoes of the blues, but a voice that sounds like no other before or since. This is Bill Withers. Inimitable, completely original, riveting. The clip, from 1972, is featured on The Best of The Old Grey Whistle Test, a DVD collection from Britain’s acclaimed music television program. It’s worth tracking down for many reasons, but the performance by Withers and his band is the kind you just don’t see on TV anymore. I must’ve watched it twenty times in a row before deciding, “I’ve got to interview Bill Withers.” Easier said than done. After a brief twelve-year career that featured classic hits such as “Lean On Me,” “Use Me,” “Grandma’s Hands,” and “Just The Two Of Us,” Withers walked away from the music business. With the exception of a few samples that have powered contemporary R & B hits, he hasn’t been heard from since.

You’re listening to Heat Rocks, and a hood episode of Heat Rocks, as we are taping in the kitchen. Every episode we invite a guest to talk to us about a heat rock, you know, fire, combustible, an album that bangs eternally.

Smooth, steady funk. Staring at shadows on the wall Wish I knew of someone I could call [Music fades out as dialogue resumes.] 00:00:47 Morgan Host In some ways, the story of Bill Withers’ career is a numbers game. He started with his first hit, released in his Jesus year, when he was 33. Over the span of his career, he’s been nominated for four Grammys, won three, this across eight albums. But when you ask most people about Bill Withers’ discography, they’ll more often than not reference just one of seven songs. You know ‘em. “Lean On Me”, “Ain’t No Sunshine”, “Lovely Day”, “Use Me”, “Grandma’s Hands”, “Who Is He (And What Is He To You)”. To be sure, all of those are jams, heat rocks. But the story of Bill Withers’ career has to include his story of a Black man growing up in coal mining country in the 40s.

  • Choosing to Make Music
    Bill Withers Artists’ Stories Choosing to make music Look at Bill Withers in the YouTube videos, sitting at a piano or playing guitar on a stage, handsome and relaxed in a Hawaiian shirt or a turtleneck, as his band plays around him. Sometimes in our lives, we all have pain. We all have sorrow, he sings. But if we are wise, we know that there is always tomorrow. He is singing Lean on Me , one of his most famous songs. Just call on me, brother, when you need a hand. We all need somebody to lean on. In the video, he is Mister Cool. But when Bill Withers was growing up in a little coal town in Raleigh County, West Virginia, he was not Mister Cool. “I stuttered badly. All the girls were taller than me. I had asthma.” “Some people are born cool,” he said. “I was not.” He stuttered till he was 28 years old. “I used to avoid the phone and any situation where you had to talk. People would laugh when I stuttered. They’d get up in my face and say ‘Spit it out! Just spit it out!’ They’d try all kinds of folky cures on me, like hitting you in the face with a dishrag.” Nobody, back then, would have predicted Bill Withers would grow up to be a fa - mous singer and songwriter. Now he is a musical legend. He has sold millions of records. Michael Jackson, Paul McCartney, Aretha Franklin, Mick Jagger, The Temp - tations, Barbra Streisand, Linda Ronstadt, Sting, Kenny Rogers – many of the most famous musicians of his time – have recorded songs he wrote.
