Remember Bill Withers! Timeless!

Big Frank has been listening to a lot of Bill Withers lately. The man can sing and what great songs he has written. It all stems from his open heart and his ability to look outside to the world. This is what Bill has to say of where he gets his inspiration from: "I write and sing about whatever I am able to understand and feel. I feel that it is healthier to look out at the world through a window than through a mirror. Otherwise, all you see is yourself and whatever is behind you." An indication of his great song writing ability is the list of performers who have done covers of his songs: Barbra Streisand, Michael Jackson, Sting, Paul McCartney, Liza Minnelli, Aretha Franklin, Tom Jones, Linda Ronstadt, Joe Cocker, Johnny Mathis, Mick Jagger, Crystal Gale, Nancy Wilson, Carmen McCrae, D'Angelo, Fiona Apple, Grace Jones, Diana Ross, and many many more. Listen to Bill Withers sing his great songs Lean On Me, Ain't No Sunshine, and Use Me. And listen to these great covers: Sting singing Ain't No Sunshine, Amy Lee playing Use Me, and Grover Washington Jr. and his band playing Just The Two Us.
