Amen
Rest In Power Bill. You meant to so many of us. Thanks for every lyric, every record and every moment.
We need more John Legends. Bring back the voices and melodies that made black music so damn special. This version is awesome. Total justice to Mr. Withers. Keep it up, John Legend
This music is a classic! RIP Bill Withers!
This groove is Powerful!! R.I.P Bill and Thanks for this Masterpiece
RIP Bill thanks for the music 🙏
You will always be loved and missed. Rest in perfect peace , Mr. Bill Withers.
DAMN, I didn't know that John Legend could do justice to a soul song! RIP Bill Withers 4/03/2020.
Bill Withers taught artists that less is so MUCH more than more itself! What a genius!
that was the hardest moment in that drummer's career.
Thank you, Bill, for the awesome music. You are sorely missed. Lean on Me is everyone's theme song through these crazy times.
Good morning.
I sing this to my dog &now I love it more
Nothing beats the original by Bill, but Daummm that's the closest anyone will ever get! You really are a Legend John, Awesome performance!👌
Bill’s will always be best, but my favorite cover is definitely Jose James’ from his bill withers tribute record Lean on Me. Definitely worth checking out.
I see you Mr. Legend!❤️
A Great Performance!
❤️🖤💚
Legends NEVER Die
Rest In Perfect Peace Bill.
I loved his music. RiP 🙏🙏
All I have to say is Thank You Bill, RIP brother.
Rest in beautiful peace Bill Withers. 💜🙏
Bill has some interviews on here seemed like a pleasant man in his 80s- also and another thing he has sat next to stevie wonder when these greats sang his song
R.I.P Bill, thanks for helping getting me into the music!
Use me; Bill Withers, an acoustic, raw, soulful. This? Lounge music.
Come on the brother tried😂😂😂😂
❤️ Rest In Peace Mr Withers
Lyrics:
My friends feel it's their appointed duty
They keep trying to tell me all you want to do is use me
But my answer yeah to all that use me stuff
Is I want to spread the news that if it feels this good getting used
Oh you just keep on using me until you use me up
Until you use me up
My brother sit me right down and he talked to me
He told me that I ought not to let you just walk on me
And I'm sure he meant well yeah but when our talk was through
I said brother if you only knew you'd wish that you were in my shoes
You just keep on using me until you use me up
Until you use me up
Oh sometimes yeah it's true you really do abuse me
You get in a crowd of high class people and then you act real rude to me
But oh baby baby baby baby when you love me I can't get enough
I and I want to spread the news that if it feels this good getting used
Oh you just keep on using me until you use me up
Until you use me up
Talking about you using me but it all depends on what you do
It ain't too bad the way you're using me
'Cause I sure am using you to do the things you do
Ah ha to do the things you do
R.I.P. ❤️Bill Withers
How tempting would it be to slip a bar of Superstitious into this if you were Stevie?
John Legend has pipes and can sing in his own right, but this performance of his classic simply falls flat. Watched Mr. Bill Withers live 1973 performance and you can "feel" the soul. Call it generational or what, but the man sang from a different place...
Couldn’t agree more, that John Legend dude looked like a dufus here compared to Bill.
Yep, I like John Legend, but this was terrible. Would have love to hear Stevie sing it.
I totally agree 😊
1000%
Exactly what I was thinking he’s just not in tune with the song
John sorry stay with the voice you cant hang with mister withers not yesterday or today sorry he is the man and always will be.
Bill withers gave danielle nicole of the danielle nicole band a song he wrote for her to record. Hot spell
This may be the last bill withers song recorded. Great song
El gran Bill... 😢
At least john didn’t oversing this classic song. Today, everyone tries to hit 20 notes off the same syllable
awesome
What I'm so far behind it's pitiful 🤗🤗💖💖 1:08
Legend over sings this tune. Have respect for Bill, man!
Rip Bill......
Mark Hood The Voice audition. Fantastic
You can't really do this sing justice until you been there; until you've had that lover that is BAAAD to you, but then SO FUCKING GOOD to you. You don't love them, and that's what no one understands. You don't stick around because you're love struck. You don't tolerate their mean mistreating because you're weak. You do it cus it's fucking WORTH IT. LOL
Otro grande que muere:'(. Excelente versión.

This is me every day in quarantine with Chrissy Teigen.
Love this, but a little fast...
My friends
Feel it's their appointed duty
They keep tryin' to tell me
All you want to do is use me
Ah-huh, but my answer (Ah-huh)
Yeah to all that use me stuff
I, I, I, I
Yes, I wanna spread the news
That if it feels this good gettin' used
Oh, you just keep on usin' me
Until you use me up
Until you use me up
My brother
Sit me right down and he talked to me
He told me
That I ought not to let you just walk on me
And I'm sure he meant well
Yeah, but when our talk was through
I, I, I said brother if you only knew
You'd wish that you were in my shoes
You just keep on usin' me
Until you use me up
Until you use me up
Ah-huh, sometimes
It's true you really do abuse me
Ah, you get me crowd of high class people
And then you act real rude to me
Ah-huh, but oh, baby, baby, baby, baby
When you love me I can't get enough
Ah-huh and I wanna spread the news
That it feels this good gettin' used
Oh, you just keep on usin' me
Until you use me up
Ah, until you use me up
Talkin' 'bout you usin' people
It all depends on what you do
It ain't too bad the way you're usin' me
'Cause I sure am usin' you to do the things that you do
Ah-huh, to do the things that you do
does anybody know who's on bass on this?
John Legend can’t hold Bill Withers jock
If I was not looking at the video… I would have thought Kem was singing 😊
Forgive me but did they just miss out the whole punchline of the song? The line where Bill says he’s using her too???’!!!
I was thinking that too. "It ain't too bad the way you're using me/Cus I sure am using you to do that thing you do."
Look at John Legend trying to show some sexy! Great tribute to Bill Weathers!
Yeah. He is trying... Cutting off a legend. Even in his old years. That wise, soul, needed to be heard. Fuck John Legend for that.
Where the heck is Stevie!
3:18!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Lenny pls.
SMH atthe comments. Y'all should send then bamf!
That song has electric bass electric guitar and drum set with an audible bass drum.its a rock song. legend is doing good the timber of the band is not his fault
1:55 #johnlegendisafuckingbaby
The drummer didn't have Gadsen's chops.
I agree.
It feels a little pushed and not as laid back as Gadsen.
I love it but I'm sure what Bill went through when he had written this song was a different time.
The vocals show that, music is written about something that happened or a state of mind when it happened.
Not saying is a bad cover but when Bill sang it was emotive. This seems to lack that same emotion. Now I'm not saying John doesn't have emotion. Just not the same. Maybe a different upbringing etc.
John Legend is fake emotion here. He also cut off Bill from Bill singing his own song. Had it just been Bill and Stevie. Wow. I like John Legend sometimes. Not this time.
Legend was good covering "USE ME" but do yourself a favor watch the Bill Withers Documantry "Still Bill" Watch and listen to Cory Glover just nail the same song. Cory Glover really is a great and underrated talent, he the lead singer for Living Color.
Shut up John Legend!
If I did not say this before I didn’t like the fact John perform his songs #mrbill just wasn’t for him like I can’t believe he make the beautiful man song sound like that don’t do none of his song again Mann 😱 bill was saying whts he doin to my tunes Mann😂😂 rip🕊
Should of let stevie sing it
Couldn't listen to this for a whole minute. Phony emotions, wrong tempo and no pocket control. The irony of it all is that this is a sad story told by Bill Withers where this is just a bad result.
S Green - What is pocket control?
Agreed for the most part, but it's not a sad story. In the end it turns out he's happy to be used by her because he's using her too.
Why is Stevie pretending to play the keys?
John L.
Not even close with his vocals
Truth brother. I was angry John was cutting him off. I get it. Bill's voice wasn't as velvet as it was when he hit his golden years. But to deprive that man a moment in front of the world. That he earned. He deserved. It was selfish. Sickening.
Agreed. Bill Withers is actually a legend. This other guy singing is Mr. Mediocre
he did a good job. this song is just too funky for his generation. he cant feel it. these people came from gospel music back in the day. soul too deep.
@@danielhawthorne1838 I think he was in a tough spot and was trying to help Bill out, he had good intentions.
Reminds me of Bill Murray impersonating a lounge singer on Saturnday night live..... If you want a song to sound funky you don't speed it up and play more..........Go check out Dangelo with STEVE GADD, Eric Clapton, MARCUS MILLER , David SANBORN , TITO PUENTES ON PERCUSSION Sorry, I had to say something, this was not a good arrangement either.
Ooofa, sketchy acoustic guitar solo… I know who am I… But damn it if ur playin with Stevie and John legend U better make those bends
Johns voice is so cringy. Sing it like a man not a boy, brother. 🧑🏾💻
What kind of nonsense is that?
BW w/ a keyboard & drummer blows that shit away.
Come on Stevie.
Los subtítulos que se activan en Español son una vergüenza. Hacen que la letra del gran y adorado Bill parezca un himno a los golpeadores de mujeres.
My god, was the mixing engineer off sick this evening?! What sorta terrible balance is this?!
Legend is a nobody ...Wonder & Withers are another story
What a boomer. Just because someone doesn't have a musical career in the 70s or 80s doesn't mean they're a nobody.
@@weirdbro6597 Stfu Legend is nothing compared to those two.... period. His taste in women sucks as well!
oh how unsensual and unsexy todays music is compared to those tracks.... even Beyonce is cold fish compared to that and yes John Legend should dive more into sould having a such a voice. too good for pop.
Bill Withers didn't sing with them
This is a disgrace
John Legend is not good enough.
John couldn't do it justice. Sorry.
Fuck Bill didn't even sing....wth
That quavery, super-fast vibrato Legend is using. It's trendy. But, it actually speaks to a lack of vocal control. No thanks.
John Legend Lousy Liberal
Definitely not Bill Withers soul. Terrible copy.
pretty sure john legend is a pizza eater. iykyk
Oh ya he 1 ov dem
Would have 100× better without john ledgendless
Mediocre vocal performance. I don’t like the change of chords bill withers is playing.
John legend shouldn't be sing our true legends of music songs he sounds horrible
What a joke
Sorry. John ruined this song forever for me.
more proof John Legend can't sing
Really bad.John legend doesn't cut it.
