True indeed! My mom passed on the same day as he, April 3. I said look at momma...she exits with Bill...and I thought of the song "Ain't no Sunshine when She's Gone".
Always been a fan of the music but I never knew Bill was a riot too!

Look for his speech at the rock'n roll hall of fame induction, it was by far the best acceptance speech i've ever listen too. And pay attention to his last sentence.

He's not underrated at all lol
Bill Wither was a classic musicians & regrets that I never had an opportunity to view a live performance. He will be truly missed.
Was not a fan of Withers music as a kid, but now I get it...genius! Soul Shadows, Lonely Town, Lonely Street, Who is He and What is He to You? And of course all the classic tunes everybody knows.

Oh you would get it eventually. It's like Mark Twain recalled “When I was a boy of 14, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I got to 21 I was astonished at how much the old man had learned in seven years.” With time and life, you matured.

Bill Withers,One of the best song writers ever!!
A true legend...icon in music forever. Wot an underated artist. Amazing musician,song writer and man of his convictions...true respect for this wonderful man. He walked away from music wen they tried to package him into something he wasn't going to be. We have missed out on much more of his music. But he stood by his convictions. This world lost the sunshine the day he went away. RIP BILL ,rest easy and you truly deserve biggest respect. Miss you already, Bill 'we wish you love' xx

Christmas New Years had a week off and would hit a little club most nights and each time they'd play at least 2 Withers tunes. And everyone there was smiling. Condolences to his family and friends. RIP Mr. Withers.
Bill gone too. .Most Underrated Musician? Maybe, one reason is because his music just felt like home. An honest home. Yeah. Thanks for everything Bill

4 NBA Legends sitting all together! Great speech from another Legend Bill Withers, thank you for your music that will stand the test of time RIP.
I watched Elgin Baylor play live in the Old Madison Square Garden in New York City. A basketball genius who could spin in the lane and make the two pointer off the backboard. A Wizard on the court!
That was awesome! Congratulations Elgin!One love,Magic,Kareem & Shaq.Thank you & RIP Bill❤
Bill Withers and my momma got their wings on the same day April 3. In her departure I thought about "Ain't no Sunshine When She's Gone". Lula Reese Fitzpatrick.

Elgin Baylor flew like Jordan and Dr. J in the early 60s but the NBA was hardly ever on teevee so people didn't know.

The moral of the story : no matter what business you are in , take time to sit down with your brothers & sisters ,that’s is called solidarity. I love to see our leaders share these beautiful moments.
Wow, didn't know Bill Withers such a personality outside of his music. What a guy, very funny and had those jokes rolling. 😆
Man, this is one of those beautiful gems on KZread...
What a brilliant folksy speech . I see why Mr . Withers was a genius songwriter!!
Fantastic soul singer ! Lovely Day ..
WOW! That was dope!

I was rolling when he said Baylor had a dish washing fetish.
I love Kareem! He's so humble and kind - even how he sits: trying to take up as little space as possible so that others may be comfortable.
That was hilarious!!! Bill is funny as hell.
Resting in Soul Haven Still Bill Withers
I love Bill , Shaq, Magic , Kobe and Kareem we will greatly miss them both , in our small part of this world is greatly diminished by their absence. Bill brought the country light into our hearts and Kobe made all of us say wow did you see that?
RIP MR WITHERS
miss ya bro
RIP LEGEND
🙏🏾🙏🏾RIP BILL LEGEND 🙏🏾🙏🏾
R.I.P. Bill Weathers writer and singer of songs like Lean on Me and Lovely Day. And yes that was his voice on Grover Washington Jr. "Just the two of us". I wish someone would give you a statue, because you have gifted us with so many great songs.
Who the fuck could possibly dislike this?
What a delight! RIP dear Bill Withers.

Loved this and Jerry West's speech, too.
You know... I really loved this mans music. But another thing that occurs to me as I enjoy Bill’s speech is that he could have gone toe to toe, word for word with one of my favorite funny men of all time, Redd Foxx. RIP Bill.
Shaq has had a fabulous life meeting all of these legends....including the late Wilt Chamberlain.
Bills speaks very well along with having a great personality 📖
withers was one cool cat

One of the greatest of all time. The media stop talkin about Elgin Baylor in the mid-90s
As a person who born not to far from Bil was in southern WV I have a tremendous respect for this man .To go from Slab Fork WV to the rock and roll Hall of Fame
He should've been given several lifetime achievement awards!
Rip Bill Withers!!! My songwriting idol!! Great speech!!!
One of the funniest warm hearted speech
That was great
Bill a National Treasure RIP
That was epic and hilarious! 😂
How tall were them chairs?? Magic’s feet dangling ... never knew bill withers is a comedian too lol
R.I.P Bill Withers
R.I.P. MR. WITHERS you left the Earth in a much better place, than what you found it. 1love
Awwww Bill hanging w the basketball greats, I know they feel amazing hanging w him 😉😉😉
He was a great singer.
This guy's hillarious XD
Will miss Bill. Rest In Peace.
Bill like Jerry West are from West Virginia my man from my hometown of DC the great Elgin Baylor
Lovely Day! Rest in Paradise my brother Bill Withers!
Brahman Bill Withers RIP Sun! That was beautiful!
Great job
Love Bill Withers . He is so great amd funny
He reminds me of the" Big Cat" Ernie Ladd.
MANY of us, had no idea, Mr Withers was a stand up comedian....and a pretty good singer (sarcasm). If after watching this, you still aren't convinced about how funny he REALLY is, search his Rock 'n Rioll HoF induction speech....the unedited version that's almost 14 minutes long. He is HILARIOUS.
You know those are some high chairs when magic is swinging his legs back and forth
RIP Bill
Still Bill
What a voice!
RIP Withers. This stuff should be made available before. ppl need not pass on before we celebrate them. Come on
Gotta Love the Lakers😎
Celebrate your Mighty Game!!! 💜💛
What a team sitting there. Can u just imagine Kareem or Shaq paired w Elg and Magic on the court. Takes your breathe away.
Old skool rapping ! Gifted Soul brother!
total class rip!!!!!
Eternal Peace King💞
Rest In Power...still Bill, "call your momma"!!!
Fact! Bill Withers was best friends with Grover Washington Jr., they both served side by side in the Army.

I ain't washing them dishes..... Feeding basketball players is a First Ladies biggest task. ELGIN's time was classic. GOD's GRACE sport bringsth em boys the table
I’m Really Going To Miss His Humor!!! So Down,So Real !!!
I don't know why, but hearing Bill Withers speak, he reminds me of Danny Glover's daddy on The Color Purple (Adolph Caesar).
The next Laker to recieve a Statue has to be a Super Fucking Player. Can you imagine how many Great Super Dupper Players are there now. You got the 1st Michael Jordan in Elgin Baylor who won a Ring. Jerry West who not only won a Ring but is on the NBA Logo. You got Kareem that not only won 5 NBA Rings,but also multiple College and HS Championships. They even out lawed Dunking in College for a time because Kareem was to easily dominating the competion. The you got Shaq Daddy and Kobe. To even be mentioned in the same breath of those Players you have to be way above special. You have to be a God of Da Game. Good luck with that.
👍👍👍👍👍👍
RIP
