- Опубликовано: 27 ноя 2024
- William Harrison "Bill" Withers, Jr. (born July 4, 1938) is an American pop/soul singer-songwriter and musician who performed and recorded from 1970 until 1985. Some of his best-known songs are "Lean on Me", "Ain't No Sunshine," "Use Me," "Just the Two of Us", "Lovely Day," and "Grandma's Hands".
Bill Withers was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2005 and into the inaugural class of the West Virginia Music Hall of Fame in 2007. Also, in 2007 his "Lean On Me" was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame.
he wrote and produced two songs on the Gladys Knight & the Pips record I Feel a Song, and in October 1974 performed in concert together with James Brown, Etta James, and B. B. King at the historic Rumble in the Jungle fight between Foreman and Ali in Zaire. Footage of his performance was included in the 1996 documentary film When We Were Kings, and he is heard on the accompanying soundtrack.
Just the Two of Us" is a 1981 Grammy Award-winning R&B song recorded by Grover Washington, Jr. and Bill Withers. The song appeared on Washington's album Winelight. It reached #2 on the Billboard Hot 100, and topped the ARC Weekly Top 40 for a week.
Regina Belle covered "Just the Two of Us" in 1991 on the Tribute album To Grover, With Love, produced by Jason Miles, which made # 4 on Top Contemporary Jazz Albums Billboard Chart.
Bill Withers recorded another version of the song which is included on a CD of his greatest hits. Christian McBride covered the song with overdubbed basses only in a hidden track included in the album Philadelphia Experiment, released on Rope-A-Dope Records. Will Smith sampled "Just the Two of Us" in 1998. This version was parodied in the film Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me. It was heard in a TV commercial for Taco Bell that aired during NBC's coverage of Super Bowl XLIII on February 1, 2009. Bill Cosby did a parody version, "Just the Slew of Us", as the theme music for his movie Bill Cosby: Himself.

He truly vibbing. What a legend.
Yeah even while looking like he doesn't have a soul
Excuse me, can i know whos in your profile picture? Is he from Disney?
When my son (he's 11) started to sing this song yesterday i knew straight away that I'm raising him properly ♥️
That "but mom, I don't want to perform!" vibe gets me everytime.

This guy was dismissed and ignored because he had a stutter, which he overcame by himself. When he went into the studio for the first time to record his songs he had no idea how good he was. Legend.

So too, in early youth, did actor James Earl Jones have a stutter ... till he evolved into the booming baritone voice of Darth Vadar.

His voice is amazing and he’s not even trying

wtf is google lipsyncing????
Fr
He is trying, you don’t have to make weird faces to try, you can see he’s very focused on the notes
Yep
I'm still stunned that this song never hit number one anywhere in the world, but it's generally acknowledged as a classic.
The "simplicity" of the singing - no shouting, no slurs, no autotune - makes this song so damn good.
Ye

that's pretty much every old songs beside rap where they say the african slur and rock/metal

@lmaomoofeq2505 Oh wow, that must have made this performance very difficult.

Him standing there so casually and having neutral facial expressions and singing this song very beautifully is slightly funny to me and shines a smile on my face
He was going through a divorce at the time and was sick of the song iirc
@@bigholmes1660 A procedure which took half of his net worth..? That's sad...
Some people in the comments are saying he lipsynced is that true?
@@JoeVahns no, this is his real voice. All of his songs were known to be his genuine voice
It is called having a beautiful voice. Singing a beautiful song. Some singers can show the emotion physically but equally talented singers don't always show it on their faces. It is a beautiful thing.
No theatrics .......just pure MUSIC and still fresh after all these years.
Now I understand why my grandparents say old songs are better than today

No doubt
There was no autotune back then and the lyrics are naturally meaningful. Most of the songs nowadays are just "love, hate, you miss me i miss you etc...."

My husband and I will be celebrating our 50th wedding anniversary and I heard my 10 year old reserved grandson singing “Just The Two Of Us” and It made me so happy to be still with my husband throughout the years.
congrats!
I don't know why, but this story reminds me of the scene from The Godfather III, when the boy play on the guitar and sang the main theme of the movie to Michael Corleone.
Thats cute.. Your son is really amaznig and he'll grow up to be amazing!

You know it's a beautiful thing to see and witness what true love is I only had the chance to experience seeing it through my grandparents but as I get older and I look around it becomes harder and harder to find a girl with morals and values that are 100% will know she will never cheat. I'm 25 now and I hope before it's too late I'd be able to find a woman with a similar mindset to how these women used to think

@Zoey He still owns the royalties to it. Even if he's dead. It isnt under fair use yet. I wouldn't be surprised if his estate owns the rights to all of his songs.
This song never dies.
why cant artists be like this guy, no autotune needed to sound good
well i agree but artists like rappers need autotune, they have bars but they dont have the right voice too reach the note where the rhymes are cool, hope this doesnt offend anyone
@@SOUPMONKE that makes sense
I mean, autotune is not really a bad thing, it's often not even noticeable unless the artist chooses to make it very apparent (or just messes up real bad). It's just a handy tool to speed up workflow.. saves having to retry a few more times to get the perfect take.
david bowie uses autotune XD

That was our song. Nov. 30 would have been our 44th. Miss her terribly.

Takes me back to 1985 to my first love sadly we lost our young daughter and we broke up. I will always love them both deeply and I have never forgotten him though our lives moved on. My daughter would now be 37 and I still grieve for her.. sorry for your loss I totally get it x
🥺🥺
@leximason2408 oh your heart. I'm so sorry for your pain and loss.
Some say it’s better to have a love lost, than to have never loved at all. I’m not one of those people. I’m sorry for your loss
I remember my mom singing this song to me, obviously upset, in her subaru station wagon. We stayed in there for a while after getting out of a worse situation. I was so young, I shouldn't remember... but this song has always stuck with me and represented hope for a better life, and the bond with my mother. Now that she is gone it certainly hits differently.
Damn.. sorry for your loss

I really did Michelle. Thanks.

Maybe someone angered him before he took the stage.
@@marcelogimenez4098 damm that’s got to hurt
@@marcelogimenez4098 , I think it was Grover Washington Jr who wrote the song and Bill Withers just provided the vocal.
Sometimes i ask my self "How does it feel for a artist to wrote a very very great song" ❤❤❤
His singing looks effortless, and that is genuine talent, it's like someone just told him he had a concert and he was like "well, let's get this over with" .thinking of all contemporary so-called "artists" who have to make a show and they don't even possess half his talent
I read in one of the comments that he got a divorce right before he will sing this.
@@activitus1958 What!
@@activitus1958 just the one of us we can't make it if we try

Literally, effortless genuine talent.
First of all, artists who make a show on stage do it to entertain you guys who watch it and critique it no matter what. It's either "oh too much effort" or "damn they could have put some effort into it". Step on stage. Do it once. See how difficult and nerve rattling it is to see 100s of people waiting to clap and critique your best ability behind your back. Then talk.
He did it so effortlessly while sounding so damn good
I'm 61 years old, and I will never get tired of listening to this beautiful song. What a great and melodious voice, and he had the mic far away. The lyrics, the tempo, the musical harmony. The variety of rythm and pitch; the breathing, vocalization and resonance! And the sax played by Grove Washington Jr. makes this song a musical gem. Sometimes you don't need to show your emotions when you sing with your heart and soul like Bill Withers does. And I say he does it because I am completely sure that he is singing with the ANGELS in HEAVEN! And how elegant these artists of the yesteryear dressed! They just had respect for their audience! THIS SONG WILL NEVER GET OLD...WE DO!!!
RIP BROTHER BILL!.
Great song great song

You are right on

RIP Bill. This song is probably what got me into all the music from this time and music in general. you'll be missed dearly

I got super lucky to grow up in the US with two parents who grew up in the 80s and listened to this song. When I was a little kid in the car listening to this, I could tell it was a representation of their love for each other. Now, older, I'm 31 and married, and this song resonates to me deeply. It now holds the meaning of my newer young love, but still holds the same meaning my parents once had.
" JUST THE TWO OF US" . One of the most beautiful song that I have listened in my life.

Oh, you sweet summer child.
These TV shows were all 99% playback.
The project "Lipps Inc." that producted the famous song "Funkytown" in 1980 is a word play based on that fact.
It is just not worth going through a dozen sound checks for a "Top of the Pops" type of show.

I'd have to look into that show.
On a quick search I found this:
ruclips.net/video/Tg1yxRU6SJI/видео.html
which looks totally legit.
As rule of thumb:
If you have 3+ performances on a weekly network TV show, then that show basically HAS to go for playback on most of them, to pull it off.
If you have ever been to a festival, you might have noticed a 30-60 min break between the artists for rewiring and sound checks. And it is really hard to do that mid show on a TV set, but not impossible.

🇹🇹 yuh done kno!
I'm here two
My Mom and I used to sing this together, but would say just the three of us, to include my Dad 😆 Miss my Mom so much 😭
♥️❤️♥️
I'm sorry for you😥
This is really wholesome, I wasn't ready for the feels 😥
God bless you!
damn this comment is beautiful. The three of us. Lots of love to you.
First ever comment in RUclips, I broke down and cried on my birthday when I knew he was gone. Here's a person who lived on his own terms and helped us focus on what really mattered in life. I will hold your creative work forever in my heart including this defining song of my youth that takes me back to a hopeful place every time. Rest well, Mr. Withers...there will still be sunshine for humanity even after you have gone, because you left a part of your soul behind. Thank you.
this will never die
Who's watching this in 2021? This man is a treasure. I don't care how sad I am, when I listen to him sing everything just seems to be better. I can't imagine having missed out on him in my life. Sincerely, Carly
I'm listening too Carla. This kind of song brings you back to the time of real music. It soothes you and relaxes your brain. Stress has no place right now. Cheers😊
Me listen this in 2021 too! A pandemic era

I see the crystal raindrops fall
And the beauty of it all
Is when the sun comes shining through
To make those rainbows in my mind
When I think of you sometime
And I wanna spend some time with you
Just the two of us
We can make it if we try
Just the two of us
(Just the two of us)
Just the two of us
Building castles in the sky
Just the two of us
You and I
We look for love, no time for tears
Wasted water's all that is
And it don't make no flowers grow
Good things might come to those who wait
Not for those who wait too late
We gotta go for all we know
Just the two of us
We can make it if we try
Just the two of us
(Just the two of us)
Just the two of us
Building them castles in the sky
Just the two of us
You and I
I hear the crystal raindrops fall
On the window down the hall
And it becomes the morning dew
And darling when the morning comes
And I see the morning sun
I wanna be the one with you
Just the two of us
We can make it if we try
Just the two of us
(Just the two of us)
Just the two of us
Building big castles way on high
Just the two of us
You and I
Just the two of us
(We can make it, just the two of us)
Let's get it together baby (yeah)
(Just the two of us)
Just the two of us
(We can make it, just the two of us)
(Just the two of us)
(We can make it, just the two of us)
(Just the two of us)
(We can make it, just the two of us)
(Just the two of us)
(We can make it, just the two of us)
(Just the two of us)
(We can make it, just the two of us)
(Just the two of us)
Bruh I sang the whole song😂
Thanks
Merci le sang
Very original
Thankyou 💕
Being a legendary singer struggling with a stutter must be one of the most powerful feelings.
Argh, my soul as if withdrawn with this song!
So classic, so pure, so calm☺️❤
Un minuto de silencio por las personas que todavía no encuentran esta hermosa canción...
Ya es conocida, gracias a los que subtitulan

Jaaja ojala tengan el shazam jaja yo busco un cancion hasta ahora no vuelto oir mas
Yo la acabo de encontrar 😍
D..dude Shazaming!
Bill's vibe reminds me of this quiet kid in school, no one knew could sing, getting up to perform and surprising all of us at the talent show.
And the girl that he like dancing to the song that he is singing

@@diswantobevan4724 main comment and your response are a fucking awesome premise for a 70's/80's Era nostalgia feel based movie. The final scene is the kid finally gaining the courage to sing in his school talent show trying to win the girl over who he's been crushing on quietly, and this song is the song he decides to sing.
who needs fake music when you have classy LEGENDARY music like this. REAL music! REAL soul and emotion and human spirit! Something we ALL SHOULD relate with!
I didn't think fake music was a thing.
@Logan-py8we everyone has different music tastes. you cant call some music fake just cuz it has a different style to it. of course, you can also continue saying this, as its your music taste, not mine.
NOVEMBER 2024.....Who’s here for this beautiful song?
Just the two of us i suppose

Just got news of him passing away. Rest In Peace, Bill. Thank you for your music 🙏🏼❤️. Look at how effortless he is at singing this beautiful song
To me it’s both ‘a happy sad song’ & ‘a sad happy song’. I could listen to it all day.
RIP Bill Withers. Your music will live in the hearts of the people.
Yoo after 4 years one comment
The fact that he's singing so effortlessly 🥴♨️🙌🏽
Rest in peace legend. I remember hearing the news he passed and I sobbed (I was 14 at the time) but this song makes me appreciate how truly amazing his voice and music was
