I love this recording, there's no reverb on the vocals and they're super up-front, so it's like he's in the room with you through some good headphones. His voice is superb with no need for excessive ornament, and just feels so effortless for him. Beautiful.
He's not high, Keith Moon was high, James Judson is a fucking clock, you just can't do that when you're high. It's easier to do rocket science than realtime music theory when you're high. Ask Brian May he does both, neither of them while high.

and it could have gone for 20 minutes more and would have been just as good. Bill just had somewhere to be so he packed it all into just over 2 minutes.
There is no reason to talk about how good the song is. It is so obvious like saying "Hello UA-cam". But for the records: Its so damn good. And the drummer is fun.

Its a rainy day, a sad day, a day when the soul legend died His songs will never die The day he died had no sunshine This song will long live on as “Ain’t no sunshine when he’s gone” R.I.P big man, thank you for it all ❤️
My poor husband played this song hundreds of times while I ran away from culture shock and postpartum depression. After years of my rebelliousness finally I came back to my senses, but I still cry whenever I listen to this particular song cause I feel my husband’s pain in those dark times. 😢
@@ems901my son had three young boys when my daughter-in - law left him to chased winds , rock and roll , wine and songs and two years ago she died from sleep apnea surgery at age of 43 . I thank God for me to deliver from the stronghold of deception in the world.
Fun fact: Bill Withers recorded this song in one take, his "i know i know's" he put them in that recording because he felt in the moment he needed to fill that empty space
He said "I know" 26 times. He was also a factory worker who didnt really have time to finish the lyrics, so he used that as a temporary filler. However, some very famous entertainers said it sounded fine, so he left it unfinished.
Classic Bill Withers. Wow was it really 50 yrs. ago when this first came out. Great music always stands the test of time. This classic has only gotten better. Really make you miss those time when the artists was really singing no auto tuning or any other trickery. Just their raw talent. RIP Mr. Withers. God bless.
A long time ago I thought it was just a nice melancholic song of his lost grandma. Now I sing it to remember my one and only true love that recently died and I had to organise the proper funeral for him. If only he was still beside me, my life would still make sense, but it's truly "only darkness every day". Although I see spring waking up outside, "Ain't no sunshine, when he's gone and this house is ain't no home" indeed. The only wish I have is to join his embrace in the afterlife.
Preach!!!! I was like Gawd Damn I don’t remember the comment section being about the drummer years ago when I came to this song. But it’s all good. Shit is kinda funny
Always felt Bill was incredibly underappreciated as an artist, sadly now he's gone people will probably appreciate him more. Thank you Bill you truly were a great
