Bill is a national treasure. He wrote 5 of the most recognized and covered songs of our time. He only performed live a handful of times and this recording is probably the rarest of the rare. What a gift we received as a human race. I can’t think of any one person in my lifetime who has moved so many emotions with the one hand that he penned this music with. Godspeed Mr Withers.

Little did we know the AC vent directly above us was amplifying our singing over the whole call center floor. It wasn't long before a supervisor came running it to tell us to shut up. When we went back to work everyone gave us a thumbs up. An unforgettable moment. Thanks Bill!

Reminds me of how delight life is. How it is growing upamd thining that you will always have the Friends you have. How you think that good things will stay and bad things will leave as fast as they came. As a 39 Year old father i now know that none of this will happen. I remember growing up as a half Asian in Germany and Racists told me i am worth nothing. How my Teacher and Class Mates told me that i will grow up being nothing. 2018 i made the Change. Leaving the Country traveling the World as a gratuated Chef. 2013 i came to Switzerland and i met my Wife. She teached me to be someone. Gratuated as a Supply Chain Specialist and being ably to support my old mom and my Family. So what is life all about? Beeing able to take opportunities ones you see them not beeing afraid of what might happen. But i paid a price for that. There is almost no one left that i can lean on. But thats fine...the few that are left are more than i bargained for. Wishing you all the best.

Spiritual music was all that could get some of the people through a depressing life of servitude, with no concept of recognition, let alone growth nor advancement. It's soul-crushing for even the greatest humans, and a hellish fate too cruel for even the worst criminals. It's tempting to dehumanize the perpetrator in retaliation, but that would make us no better than those deplorables. We all need something to look forward to in life, and sadly, many of these people only had the cold embrace of Thanatos to look forward to, or "winning the freedom lottery" by running away and not getting caught. Telling all this to my Boomer dad, who thinks the Founding Fathers were some of the best moral leaders by breaking from their king, and he ignores that they kept slaves. Sigh.

@@StephenGillie They kept slaves yes, but if you read about the rest of the world during their time you would realize that everyone else was as well. In fact, the slaves they kept were sold to them by their own neighbors who defeated them in wars. The founding fathers couldn't have had a chance in becoming a world power without slaves. Seeing as everyone else was using them to get a leg on the competitors it was sadly the only way they saw possible. There were slaves here before the colonists as some of the native tribes practiced slavery of their neighbors as well. Literally every known continent had slavery in that time. I'm not saying it was right but I'm tired of people blaming white people for the entirety of slavery. Black Americans are acting like it only happened to them and that is ridiculous man.

Dr. King was a Republican for a reason. He fought & ultimately died fighting for Civil Rights but the Democrats voted unanimously against it in 1964.

Martin Luther King was an amazing man and if he were alive currently he would be very upset at the violence of society
