One of my favorite songs of all time is Bill Wither's "Grandma's Hands." If the name sounds familiar, you've surely heard "Ain't No Sunshine" and "Lean On Me." Will Smith even sampled a good portion of Withers's "Just The Two Of Us" back in 1998. But herein lies the problem. This talented musician and songwriter has somehow gone under appreciated in the minds of a vast majority of the music-listening pubic.
Hopefully, not for long. The documentary Still Bill, about the life, past and current, of 1970's singer-songwriter Bill Withers looks at the cultural phenomenon that is his tragic disappearance from the public consciousness.
In the trailer, Withers himself says that often times people don't believe them when he tells them who he is. This looks like an amazing documentary of the life on an incredible talent in the musical landscape of soul music and I can not wait to see it!
