Bill & Kori - A Telephone Call Away

  • The unassuming highlight of the film (Still Bill) finds Withers and daughter Kori (an extraordinary vocalist and songstress in her own right) in a hotel lobby singing through a previously unheard song, 'A Telephone Call Away.' Withers' pensive piano work and perfectly unpretentious lyrics resonate in the acoustics of the rooms vaulted ceiling. The song reaches it's climax when Kori Withers joins in for a down right, gut-bucket yet effortlessly beautiful bridge. This song has recently seen release on George Benson's latest Songs and Stories as a duet with the deep and dulcet-toned Lalah Hathaway. While the song's beauty is still undeniable, for me, you can't beat Bill and Kori Withers in a hotel lobby on a quiet afternoon.

    My favorite part of documentary was when she was singing, in a recording studio (I think), and he was moved to tears by her talent.

    Apparently Bill Withers wrote this for George Benson, whose version is also on RUclips. However, I have to say that Bill and Kori's impromptu version is so much more profound, with Bill's soulful, but aging, voice in the first half speaking of a love so familiar, you can hear it's age. And the out-of-tune piano just adds to that feel, when out of the blue comes Kori's angelic voice, resonating from Heaven. Absolutely beautiful.

    @DHURTYMACK08 Compare this relationship to the one projected by many children of artists; here you see a father and daugther, unspoilt by fame and enjoying the beautiful gifts that they've been blessed with. Meanwhile other celeb daughters (Richie, Hilton, Kardashian) are using their parents' name to draw maximum attention to themselves rather than using any skills they've inherited to create a positive legacy.
    The world needs more Bills and Koris.
