The unassuming highlight of the film (Still Bill) finds Withers and daughter Kori (an extraordinary vocalist and songstress in her own right) in a hotel lobby singing through a previously unheard song, ‘A Telephone Call Away.’ Withers’ pensive piano work and perfectly unpretentious lyrics resonate in the acoustics of the rooms vaulted ceiling. The song reaches it’s climax when Kori Withers joins in for a down right, gut-bucket yet effortlessly beautiful bridge. This song has recently seen release on George Benson’s latest Songs and Stories as a duet with the deep and dulcet-toned Lalah Hathaway. While the song’s beauty is still undeniable, for me, you can’t beat Bill and Kori Withers in a hotel lobby on a quiet afternoon.
When my mom passed away, I was missing her, and out loud l said l am so lonely and all the sudden a snow globe that was my moms started playing the song.

My favorite part of documentary was when she was singing, in a recording studio (I think), and he was moved to tears by her talent.
I have a crush on Kori! Pretty voice, Pretty girl!!
I love George and Lalah, BUT! only Bill and Kori did this tune righteously, wish they could have recorded the entire tune.
Cory has such a beautiful voice.
Always very beautiful
