This looks amazing!
Bill Withers is such an amazing talent; understated, simple and yet complex as a personality as well. This documentary is premiering today in New York if you are around to view it, you should.
STILL BILL was filmed in part at Celebrate Brooklyn! during Hal Wilner’s Bill Withers Project on August 9, 2008, and is an intimate portrait of soul legend Bill Withers, best known for his classics “Ain’t No Sunshine,” “Lean On Me,” “Lovely Day,” “Grandma’s Hands,” and “Just the Two of Us.” (More info at the source)
Dr. Cornel West and Sting make appearances in the trailer above. Some of the quotes that they dropped in this short 2 minute span > anything Rev. Run has said on Twitter, I promise you that.
Sting said:
“The hardest thing to be in songwriting is to be simple, yet profound.”
Bill Withers said:
It’s okay to head out to Wonderful, but on your way to Wonderful, you’re going to have pass through Alright. And when you get to Alright, take a good look around and get used to it cause that may be as far as you are gonna go.”
WOW.
Here’s some Bill Withers for you to enjoy as well. “Grandma’s Hands”:
