Bill Whithers is that relative we all need.
It's sound so true today
RIP Sir
True indeed! My mom passed on the same day as he, April 3. I said look at momma...she exits with Bill...and I thought of the song "Ain't no Sunshine when She's Gone".
Always been a fan of the music but I never knew Bill was a riot too!
GROVER WASHINGTON JR PASSED AWAY YEARS AGO

I didnt know either.
Humour with a great voice. The world has lost a treasure. Rest in the blossom of the Lord Mr Bill Withers.
Bill withers was a cool ass dude! I could listen to his stories all day!
RIP Bill and Kobe 😢
Those must be the tallest chairs on Earth! Magic's feet are swinging like a toddler. R.I.P. Still Bill
I love his sense of humor. Shaq was in tears. Kareem, Magic and Elgin was enjoying the speech with laughter too. Congratulations to Elgin Baylor RIH and Soul Father Bill Withers RIH
Never knew he was such a good speech maker. I enjoyed every minute.
Look for his speech at the rock'n roll hall of fame induction, it was by far the best acceptance speech i've ever listen too. And pay attention to his last sentence.
I knew just listen to the Music.
This is the 1st time that I've ever heard anything that remotely resembles THIS Bill Withers. This is great. R I P Still Bill!
He was "Simply Beautiful ". Rest in peace. Your grandma hands...blessed you.
What a brilliant folksy speech . I see why Mr . Withers was a genius songwriter!!
R.I.P. to Singer/Songwriter/Musician, Mr. Bill Withers.
#RIPBillWithers
Most underrated musician ever
Are u stuck on stupid how can someone be underrated and win multiple grammys and in the rock and roll Hall of Fame songs being in movies and covered buy other artists and dam hes standing up in front of these greats don't insult this man with that underrated label so many people on CZcams use that word in the wrong context too much
Anthony Taylor 🎯
R.I.P. 🙏🏿BILL WITHERS
Grandswing Sport
WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT HE'S AN UNDERRATED MUSICIAN?BILL WITHERS HAS GOLD ALBUMS PLUS HE'S IN THE ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF FAME.SO DO US US A FAVOR THE NEXT TIME BEFORE YOU OPEN YOUR MOUTH DO RESEARCH FIRST ASSHOLE
He's not underrated at all lol
Bill Withers,One of the best song writers ever!!
Loved this and Jerry West's speech, too.
Bill Wither was a classic musicians & regrets that I never had an opportunity to view a live performance. He will be truly missed.
Man, this is one of those beautiful gems on CZcams...
I watched Elgin Baylor play live in the Old Madison Square Garden in New York City. A basketball genius who could spin in the lane and make the two pointer off the backboard. A Wizard on the court!
One of my all-time favorites, Lean on Me, Ain't no sunshine and Grandma's hands.
Memories are that way, Hope she'll be happier.
Don't forget, "Lovely Day!" My song!
Was not a fan of Withers music as a kid, but now I get it...genius! Soul Shadows, Lonely Town, Lonely Street, Who is He and What is He to You? And of course all the classic tunes everybody knows.
Oh you would get it eventually. It's like Mark Twain recalled “When I was a boy of 14, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I got to 21 I was astonished at how much the old man had learned in seven years.” With time and life, you matured.
And Another Day to Run! 👍
And that intro to "Hello Like Before"!!!
Bill Withers and my momma got their wings on the same day April 3. In her departure I thought about "Ain't no Sunshine When She's Gone". Lula Reese Fitzpatrick.
@slip satch my condolence to you. No it ain't a good feeling.
May he rest in everlasting peace !!!What a man a humble man.Condolences to his family .
A true legend...icon in music forever. Wot an underated artist. Amazing musician,song writer and man of his convictions...true respect for this wonderful man.
He walked away from music wen they tried to package him into something he wasn't going to be. We have missed out on much more of his music. But he stood by his convictions.
This world lost the sunshine the day he went away.
RIP BILL ,rest easy and you truly deserve biggest respect. Miss you already, Bill 'we wish you love' xx
lol He was never underrated wtf are you talking about. Is a music icon and legend revered all over the world
Underrated is the newest overused word, mostly by people who don't know what they don't know.
4 NBA Legends sitting all together! Great speech from another Legend Bill Withers, thank you for your music that will stand the test of time RIP.
Shaq's reactions tho haha
Dodger Blue He's about ready to fall off his chair.
do you have a link?
Bill withers is one funny cat!
Who the fuck could possibly dislike this?
That was awesome! Congratulations Elgin!One love,Magic,Kareem & Shaq.Thank you & RIP Bill❤
The moral of the story : no matter what business you are in , take time to sit down with your brothers & sisters ,that’s is called solidarity. I love to see our leaders share these beautiful moments.
Bill gone too.
.Most Underrated Musician? Maybe, one reason is because his music just felt like home.
An honest home.
Yeah. Thanks for everything Bill
One of the funniest warm hearted speech
Christmas New Years had a week off and would hit a little club most nights and each time they'd play at least 2 Withers tunes. And everyone there was smiling. Condolences to his family and friends. RIP Mr. Withers.
Wow, didn't know Bill Withers such a personality outside of his music. What a guy, very funny and had those jokes rolling. 😆
I love this man! RIP 🙏🏽💔
Fantastic soul singer !
Lovely Day ..
I love Kareem! He's so humble and kind - even how he sits: trying to take up as little space as possible so that others may be comfortable.
He should've been given several lifetime achievement awards!
That was hilarious!!! Bill is funny as hell.
RIP❤️ .. your songs will be listened to forever...we all need your voice now than ever ..
Lean on Me....Lovely Day
withers was one cool cat
One of the best r and b and pop artist /singer/songwriter/ storytelling musician in the 20 century! R.I.P brother!!🌃👻📶😝😛🚻🌆🌆👻🎥🎥🌆👻🎥📶🎥👻🌃
Thank homie!!😭🈵🎥📶😝😛🈲👻🌃🌆🎑🎥🗼😔🎦🏤👻🌃🌆🈺🌆🎑
What a delight! RIP dear Bill Withers.
R.I.P. Bill Weathers writer and singer of songs like Lean on Me and Lovely Day. And yes that was his voice on Grover Washington Jr. "Just the two of us". I wish someone would give you a statue, because you have gifted us with so many great songs.
Bills speaks very well along with having a great personality 📖
Rip Bill Withers!!! My songwriting idol!! Great speech!!!
You know... I really loved this mans music. But another thing that occurs to me as I enjoy Bill’s speech is that he could have gone toe to toe, word for word with one of my favorite funny men of all time, Redd Foxx. RIP Bill.
Bizarre chairs that make 7 footers look like third graders!
It's not the chairs. It's the mountain of men.
Yes
Except for Shaq -- who makes the other mountains look like hills.
Shaq has had a fabulous life meeting all of these legends....including the late Wilt Chamberlain.
I spat ma drank. This was hilarious
I was rolling when he said Baylor had a dish washing fetish.
"Maybe he's resting his jaw, too. " 😂😂😂
I love Bill , Shaq, Magic , Kobe and Kareem we will greatly miss them both , in our small part of this world is greatly diminished by their absence. Bill brought the country light into our hearts and Kobe made all of us say wow did you see that?
Bill a National Treasure RIP
Always will love you Bill.My cousin Dave Bing played withElgin Baylor.My cousin Tyrone Green played drums for Wilson Picket for 40 years.Wow peace
Nice memories!
miss ya bro
Elgin Baylor flew like Jordan and Dr. J in the early 60s but the NBA was hardly ever on teevee so people didn't know.
If you lived in Los Angeles you knew all about Elgin Baylor and how great he was and my opinion he was better than LeBron James my opinion
I have a tv but I wish I had a teevee too!
Lovely Day! Rest in Paradise my brother Bill Withers!
As a person who born not to far from Bil was in southern WV I have a tremendous respect for this man .To go from Slab Fork WV to the rock and roll Hall of Fame
Resting in Soul Haven Still Bill Withers
🙏🏾🙏🏾RIP BILL LEGEND 🙏🏾🙏🏾
R.I.P. MR. WITHERS you left the Earth in a much better place, than what you found it. 1love
WOW! That was dope!
How tall were them chairs?? Magic’s feet dangling ... never knew bill withers is a comedian too lol
That was great
Brahman Bill Withers RIP Sun! That was beautiful!
RIP LEGEND
Love Bill Withers . He is so great amd funny
I will always love Elgin Baylor.He was my Micheal Jordan back then and my Harlem globe trotters also all of the greats love all. y'all.peace
One of the greatest of all time. The media stop talkin about Elgin Baylor in the mid-90s
RIP MR WITHERS
Awwww Bill hanging w the basketball greats, I know they feel amazing hanging w him 😉😉😉
R.I.P Bill Withers
MANY of us, had no idea, Mr Withers was a stand up comedian....and a pretty good singer (sarcasm). If after watching this, you still aren't convinced about how funny he REALLY is, search his Rock 'n Rioll HoF induction speech....the unedited version that's almost 14 minutes long. He is HILARIOUS.
He was a great singer.
Will miss Bill. Rest In Peace.
He reminds me of the" Big Cat" Ernie Ladd.
What a team sitting there. Can u just imagine Kareem or Shaq paired w Elg and Magic on the court. Takes your breathe away.
Bill like Jerry West are from West Virginia my man from my hometown of DC the great Elgin Baylor
What a voice!
This guy's hillarious XD
You know those are some high chairs when magic is swinging his legs back and forth
Celebrate your Mighty Game!!! 💜💛
RIP Withers. This stuff should be made available before. ppl need not pass on before we celebrate them. Come on
I made it that the first song my first child ever heard was "I Don't Know".
Gotta Love the Lakers😎
Rest In Power...still Bill, "call your momma"!!!
Still Bill
Great job
Old skool rapping ! Gifted Soul brother!
I’m Really Going To Miss His Humor!!! So Down,So Real !!!
RIP Elgin
The next Laker to recieve a Statue has to be a Super Fucking Player. Can you imagine how many Great Super Dupper Players are there now. You got the 1st Michael Jordan in Elgin Baylor who won a Ring. Jerry West who not only won a Ring but is on the NBA Logo. You got Kareem that not only won 5 NBA Rings,but also multiple College and HS Championships. They even out lawed Dunking in College for a time because Kareem was to easily dominating the competion. The you got Shaq Daddy and Kobe. To even be mentioned in the same breath of those Players you have to be way above special. You have to be a God of Da Game. Good luck with that.
total class rip!!!!!
I ain't washing them dishes..... Feeding basketball players is a First Ladies biggest task. ELGIN's time was classic. GOD's GRACE sport bringsth em boys the table
RIP Bill
This man was a real one
I don't know why, but hearing Bill Withers speak, he reminds me of Danny Glover's daddy on The Color Purple (Adolph Caesar).
Washingtin DC's own simply one of the best Elgin Baylor !!!proud to call you ours, Spingarn High School stand up!!!
Eternal Peace King💞
Fact! Bill Withers was best friends with Grover Washington Jr., they both served side by side in the Army.
And he was also married to the Gorgeously talented Denise Nicholas!
RIP Elgin, Kobe and Bill
His guttural voice was captivating!
