Perfect, just bloody PERFECT. I've never seen this live performance - THANK YOU, so much for posting it. Bill Withers is right up there, with my all-time favourite soul-men...Bill Withers, Curtis Mayfield, Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder, Sam Cooke, Otis Redding, Smokey Robinson, Barry White, Al Green, Peabo Bryson, Aaron Neville, Ron Isley, Wilson Pickett, Dennis Edwards, the list just goes on & on. The world needs more SOUL!
I’ve been trying to get my voice in shape enough to do this one justice. I have an arrangement, to make it a bit longer, with a full band coming in at the end “she’s gone.” Then a heavy 2:30-3:00 minute jam, off the two verse chords, going to the change, to end it.
Maybe the lateness of the hour Makes me seem bluer than I am But in my heart there is a shower I hope she'll be happier with him Maybe the darkness of the hour Makes me seem lonelier than I am But over the darkness I have no power Hope she'll be happier with him I can't believe that she don't want to see me We lived and loved with each other so long I never thought that she really would leave me But she's gone Maybe the lateness of the hour Makes me seem bluer than I am But in my heart there is a shower Hope she'll be happier with him
makes me seem lonelier than I am..... nope. you hope you have something to attribute it to, but in the actual end....you don't. Bill uses only five notes in this whole song. in five notes his sadness and loss is carried across generations upon generations of love come, and then suddenly.... gone. Songs like this are immortal.

Awesome comment
Nowt wrong with leaning more towards eclectic tastes man. So glad you dig.
What honesty,
humility,
bravery,
and maturity.
What a song, a performance, and a man.
Agreed, every word you said - TRUTH.
This man delivered SOUL. RIP Mr. Withers.
this is one of the most beautiful musical rendition of all time, thanks bill and the person that recorded and shared.
Maybe I am wrong....please someone tell me....where, today, is there talent and passion like this?
lost in the cancel culture and private parts flags
He died a few yrssgo.
Forget it!
It's all gone with the old folks.

The pain & realness of this song tho
Maybe the lateness of the hour
Makes me seem bluer than I am
But in my heart there is a shower
I hope she'll be happier with him
Maybe the darkness of the hour
Makes me seem lonelier than I am
But over the darkness I have no power
Hope she'll be happier with him
I can't believe that she don't want to see me
We lived and loved with each other so long
I never thought that she really would leave me
But she's gone
Maybe the lateness of the hour
Makes me seem bluer than I am
But in my heart there is a shower
Hope she'll be happier with him
Timeless ❤
Wow simply wow.
His voice is magnificent

Look how far he is from the mic and still causing distortion.
That's Powerful Pipes man
This song guts me every time! Is this whole concert available somewhere?
There is a documentary called "Soul Power" about this entire show. Zaire 1974 - czcams.com/video/lyBvOFkCMlE/video.html
