Insane how underrated this man is, one of the best sogwriters in history IMO, and had his own original style. I will never understand how he is so slept on.

Okay when you say things like slept-on and underrated who are you talking about because everybody I know love bill withers.
-
When people talk about great singers his name dosen't get mentioned all that much he is someone that people seem to forget about. He's said it himself that he is underrated so this ain't something I just came up with.

^^Everyone you know but I hardly hear anyone really talk about him outside of a few songs. Hell, I like alot more songs by him than I thought. I just didn't know he sang them.

Use Me is a great song that I just stumbled across while downloading music. Props to Bill Withers!

Check out "Can we Pretend" by Bill Withers on the "Justments" album, his ex wife Denise Nicholas wrote the song, you the the pretty chick from the 70's with the grey eyes, he was whupping her ass though, but check out the song
Can We Pretend
Can we pretend
That from now on
There is no yesterday
Paint a portrait of tomorrow
With no colors from today
Chorus:
There’s a light that shine in your face sometimes
That takes my feeling wraps them around your need
But there’s shadow hiding in your heart sometimes
That makes my feelings turn back in on me
Can we pretend
The pain is gone
And go our merry way
Paint a portrait of tomorrow
With the colors bright and ?
Repeat Chorus
Written by D. Nicholas -
Harlem, Use Me, Lovely Day & Aint No Sunshine
are all classic pieces of work
