I'm currently going through a a situation where a girl has ran off with my child, I have reached out and reached out to her to see my daughter and I haven't gotten to once, she is almost a year old now and it tears me to bits.. tonight I'm washing dishes alone in my home and come across this sound and before I realized I had tears rolling down my face.. it's crazy how music moves us in such a powerful way when we relate to it
@@bid84 No. Fortunately, I was able to meet and communicate back and forth in his later years as a result of the relationship he and my son-in-law Ellis Hall (well known with the group “Tower of Power”) had. I do watch both on UTube .
@@ivanblake5420 Ah ok that’s cool, he seemed like such a down tight earth and funny guy with no ego at all. Lucky you had a connection with him. We are also lucky to be able to enjoy his work even though he has departed. Mind yourself Ivan, best wishes from Ireland
Tower Tito--I am very sorry that you are going through this. You are correct, that nobody can understand how you feel, unless they have walked in your shoes. I wish I could assure you that it will be OK. My EX-husband took MY 2 daughters to London many years ago, & I have not seen them since. After, I had won the Custody-Battle he started. But, I was always asking for 50/50 custody. I was trying to do what was best for our kids. IT IS NEVER BEST TO KEEP A CHILD AWAY FROM ANOTHER LOVING PARENT, & THEIR FAMILY! Unless of course, the other parent is abusing the child. But, that is rarely what is the TRUTH! The truth is that an adult wants to hurt the other parent.There is something called: "PARENTAL-ALIENATION-SYNDROM"! Please look it up, & read some of the articles about what it is? It's a very real thing that people go through. When one parent keeps a child or children away from the other LOVING parent. It's an awful thing to do, to the kids, & mostly the other parent.. It's also illegal. But, that dosen't stop it from happening most of the time. It happens more than you realize.
How do you do, Lucy? You sure been hard to find. I heard you had a daughter Six years old and I just can't keep from cry'n'. Six years Lucy, Lord have mercy, That's a long time, that's a long time. Is she pretty, has she grown? Does she sleep well in a room of her own? Can I see her? Does she know that I'm her daddy, I'm her daddy? Did you give her one of my pictures? Does she carry yeh, yeh, picture with her? Does she show it to the baby sitter, and say, "See that man, that's my daddy, that's my daddy?" You should 'a told me, Lucy, You should 'a told me, Lucy, Yeh, you should 'a told me, Lucy. Oh, Lucy. Oh, Lucy. Oh, Lucy. Oh, Lucy. You should 'a told me Lucy.

50 years from now, some young blues guys will hear this and Bill Withers will be their Robert Johnson.
As a stepdad to a girl who doesn’t know her biological father this one hits hard.
thx. I'm the Daddy X
This is one of the beautiful things I've ever seen or heard
RIP Brother Bill.

How do you do, Lucy?
You sure been hard to find.
I heard you had a daughter
Six years old and
I just can't keep from cry'n'.
Six years Lucy, Lord have mercy,
That's a long time, that's a long time.
Is she pretty, has she grown?
Does she sleep well in a room of her own?
Can I see her?
Does she know that I'm her daddy, I'm her daddy?
Did you give her one of my pictures?
Does she carry yeh, yeh, picture with her?
Does she show it to the baby sitter, and say,
"See that man, that's my daddy, that's my daddy?"
You should 'a told me, Lucy, You should 'a told me, Lucy,
Yeh, you should 'a told me, Lucy.
Oh, Lucy. Oh, Lucy. Oh, Lucy. Oh, Lucy.
You should 'a told me Lucy.
I slept on this legend
What matters is that you're here now.
