This is Will speaking. It's true. I can't get Bill
Withers' "Ain't No Sunshine" out of my head. I want to
hear it constantly. There's a live performance of it
on The Old Grey Whistle Test DVD that our producer
Tracy Chisholm loaned to me. (By loaned to me, I mean
that I've had it for about 9 months and he may never
get it back). It just blows me away. It's less than 2
minutes long and it's f*cking gorgeous.
Then I read a recent interview with Bill where he the
interviewer was asking him about his feeling's on the
sampling of his work by modern artists, primarily in
hip-hop. His open-minded, supportive and reverant
answer made me love him even more.
"Ain't No Sunshine when she's gone..."
I sing it EVERY day.
