Bill Withers - Better Days

Bill Withers - Better Days (Theme from "Man and Boy")

[pest]

Big up task force for sampling this and making an unbelievably hard hip hop track

[nancyvadakin]

This lifts your spirits and breaks your heart at the same time. No one like Bill Withers. This was written by someone named Jameson, but Withers was the man to give it to the world.

Rest in Peace, Bill. You'll always be one of the truly greatest!

[bennyjazzful]

Another brilliant song from a true musical genius.
Bill Withers would have to be one of the very best of today's singer / songwriters.
Amazing sounds & so, so good.

WOW ! I'm a big fan and had several of his LP's and never heard this song! WOW !

Bill withers songs make you think so hard about life. This is why I love his songs so much.

[Yesr]

This is not swag, its nothing but pure class and love.

[rickyc]

i love this so much....one of the only things that brings joy to my heart.

[mcallen]

BTW, this was produced and conducted by the great Quincy Jones.

Another one of those songs that take you somewhere, you can't explain it you can't say where it is but for the moment you are there.

From the movie Man and Boy, staring Bill Cosby, who despite present situation, did a lot of good. Score by Quincy Jones & J.J Johnson.
Today men aren't paying high enough prices to make a world where boys can grow. That old rocky road you've got to travel. All depends on how you pay your dues. You can turn those rocks into just gravel and all your dreams become just things that you can do!
If you love this song by Bill Withers you should check out Richie Havens son "Younger men grow older", it's written from the same loving thought of the heart and mind.

You're never to late for music!

[onelovega]

What awesome changes in this song. Wish I could hear rest of the jam instead of the fade out. Merry Christmas Eve. God bless

[Dangermouse]

[AllezIstres]

I was born twenty years after this song... I think I was born too late for real music

[TheHskiser]

[edwardcowan]

Ugh. No idea what the hell this song is about but damn it's got the funk

[ivangoodwin]

Correction on a line Nick
