Bill Withers - The Great Songwriters

There’s something special about encountering your musical heroes, listening to them speak and discovering that they’re just as self-effacing, unsure, and yes, quite human as most of us. Somehow, I’d always known that Bill Withers would be at the top of that list. From his unassuming manner and simple dress, to his equally uncomplicated responses to myriad questions in "The Great Songwriters” episode about his life and short yet prolific career, Withers approaches songwriting much in the same fashion — without overthinking it.
