Bill Withers In Conversation With Aloe Blacc At ASCAP EXPO 2015
Iconic singer/songwriter Bill Withers sits down in conversation with Aloe Blacc for a rare public appearance at the 10th Annual “I Create Music” Expo in Los Angeles. Watch video of the on stage interview as the reclusive musical genius discusses influences, religion, the difference between music and the music industry–and why he refused to cover Elvis Presley (“Well, that just pissed me off”) –OKP TV’s cameras were there to capture it all.
I remember watching the documentary Still Bill and thinking what a down to earth and decent human being Bill Withers is (was) The world needs more guys like him, he was thoughtful, smart and caring a man RIP brother and thanks for touching our lives.
All these people are laughing about his family beating him to death with the Bible but all youngsters who grew up in West Virginia know that look the wise old timer who got out gives you when he is trying to get through to you, that man is dead serious about what he is saying and I’m glad he did this.
Love his response to Roses are Red Violets are Blue ! “ How in the world did end up talking to a brother like you “ . You see in that response why he was a legendary songwriter.
Just for the record In The Getto is a Mac Davis song Elvis covered it. Moving on… The first six notes I ever heard Bill Withers sing over the radio was "Ain't no sunshine when she's gone" and, I was sold. Somebody played his first album for me and when I heard Gramma's Hands I knew that he was just gettin' started, he wasn't even warmed up yet!!! God Speed Dear Sir.
To escape a life in the coal mines of Slab Fork WVA and touch the lives of so many millions of people is an amazing accomplishment. Bill Withers was an extraordinary man who made some unforgettable music. God rest.his soul he was a gift to the Human Race . James Keeney

Anyone noticed that Bill was wearing a T-shirt with young BB King's photo on it?
The interviewer is an idiot, but Bill made it work.
