Bill Withers dies at age 81

[2Quik4UHoes]

Lean on Me one of the few songs I can play on the piano. I remember I was helping to set up a little show at Howard in Blackburn center years ago and as we moved the piano I just started playing the song and everyone spontaneously bursted out into song. shyt like that is why I truly love being and living in the Black experience.

RIP Baba

Thanks bro. Ironically enough I learned that shyt in 4th grade music class, I just always remembered the keys. But yeah, I practice whenever I can it’s a great skill to hone. My stepfather is a musician so I been around piano for years.

[Dr. Narcisse]

Easilly his most underrated song

Summer night in Harlem, man it's a really hot
Well it's too hot to sleep, and I'm too cold to heat
I don't care if I die or not

Winter night in Harlem
Radiator won't get hot
Well the mean old landlord, he don't care
If I freeze to death or not

Saturday night in Harlem, everything's alright
You can really swing and shake you're pretty
Everything's alright

Sunday morning here in Harlem, everybody's all dressed up
While the hip folks gettin' a home from the party
And the good folks just got up
Crooked delegation wants a donation
To send the preacher to the holy land
Hey, hey lawd, honey don't give your money to that lying, cheatin' man

One of the greatest American artists ever. He gave us black folk music that came from the root. What a unique individual who came out of the stick of WV and changed soul music.

I play his music for my young kids and even they get quiet and listen. It’s undeniable.
