He's not high, Keith Moon was high, James Judson is a fucking clock, you just can't do that when you're high. It's easier to do rocket science than realtime music theory when you're high. Ask Brian May he does both, neither of them while high.
@@myanusbernz8522 weeds weird man. It can bring on the craziest flows and emotions properly gets you tapped into stuff. But then it can leave you forgetting important stuff that brings it together etc. Issa tool
I love this recording, there's no reverb on the vocals and they're super up-front, so it's like he's in the room with you through some good headphones. His voice is superb with no need for excessive ornament, and just feels so effortless for him. Beautiful.
Everyone is so mellowed and chilled out in this video. Even the bass guitarist is sitting down with his legs crossed, and the drummer is on a different planet. I want what ever the drummer had.
Drummer's name is James Gadson. He is 81 years old now in 2020! Gadson's name was mentioned in Rolling Stone's "100 greatest drummers of all time" in 2016. The legend says he is still grooving! However, the original drummer's name was "AI Jackson Jr.". He passed away in 1975. "Ain't No Sunshine" was released in 1971. God rest his soul.
Al Jackson Jr. was the drummer on the recorded track but these guys were Bill Withers traveling band and the name of this drummer is James Gadson. He’s still living.
Al Jackson Jr. aka The Human Metronome was also the house drummer for Stax and the drummer for Booker T & The M.G.'s., who were the backing band for an incredible amount of music, including "Dock of the Bay" by Otis Redding. But most importantly, in the scope of Rock & Roll influence, is his work on "Born Under a Bad Sign" by Albert King, which is cited by most 60's and 70's artists as THE album that changed everything. The 4 kids from Memphis are overlooked by a lot of folks in the world of Rock, and they shouldn't be. "Green Onions" is the beginning of it all. IMO
I can agree. The fingers that he played was a masterpiece. God bless him. Music played from centuries has been in men/womens hearts before time n time. The message is if you have a talent? Let it shine Trust in Creator. Go forward. Always have faith.
and it could have gone for 20 minutes more and would have been just as good. Bill just had somewhere to be so he packed it all into just over 2 minutes.
I don't know why but 3 days ago I just wanted to listen to this song and it was just one day after Bill passed away. This information wasn't known in public then. Coincidence? I don't think so.
Lynn S - 🤣😂 I watched this video over and over just laughing hysterically about how happy this drummer is! Ironically it’s a ‘sad song’ so that makes it even funnier! The odd man out cheesing away in the corner.
А как вам в исполнении Джо Кокера? Я услышала впервые эту песню от Джо и была потрясена- неделю слушала бесконечно...а это исполнение....ну, не потрясло...
I am 55 soon 56 and from Nicaragua, I heard this song growing up and seeing Bill for the first time singing this song just humbled me, he sing to the deepest of humanity in all of us, goes beyond language barriers, just amazing.
Yea, the drummers high as fuck, sure. But the fact that he still has this much pocket while also being blasted is a testament to human will. God bless him.
Being high comes with the territory. See snoop dog for further info! 🤣🤣🤣 high= epic tunes. In fact, im gonna get high right now and wonder why i wasnt high already 🤔🧐
The drummer was appreciating the moment and living in it. It's class and he probably wasn't aware how obvious his smile was he was just jamming with his friends. This is just beautiful loved it since I was a boy and always will
Bill Withers and the musicians here are all the embodiment of 70s cool, but that drummer is just killing it! I can't help focusing on him whenever I watch this video, and he puts a big smile on my face every time.
I know every generation has their preferences, but the 1970's surely deserve some 'cut above' recognition over the rest of the past decades and generations. All my teenage years were spent in the 70's and I've not quite had a decade compare to the shear professionalism that the 70's delivered.
If you look closely, you can see his passion and emotion in the form of a tear below his eye. And the vibration from his guitar made the tears go upwards on his forehead too. It's very beautiful
Its a rainy day, a sad day, a day when the soul legend died His songs will never die The day he died had no sunshine This song will long live on as “Ain’t no sunshine when he’s gone” R.I.P big man, thank you for it all ❤️
A long time ago I thought it was just a nice melancholic song of his lost grandma. Now I sing it to remember my one and only true love that recently died and I had to organise the proper funeral for him. If only he was still beside me, my life would still make sense, but it's truly "only darkness every day". Although I see spring waking up outside, "Ain't no sunshine, when he's gone and this house is ain't no home" indeed. The only wish I have is to join his embrace in the afterlife.
Ain't no Sunshine today, that song holds a special place in my heart. You will be missed. Much love for your family. Thank you for sharing your gift with the world.
Bill: Singing about losing his love and being depressed about it Baseline dude: Playing along and relating to Bill's sadness Drummer: WHere's ThE WeeDDD
That cat on the skins has got to be one of the coolest most jive drummers ever man, his beats and smile alone put you in another groove fella. The whole song is a absolute masterpiece!
Always felt Bill was incredibly underappreciated as an artist, sadly now he's gone people will probably appreciate him more. Thank you Bill you truly were a great
This dark somber song cast with the lightness and beauty of your voice, is simply unmatched and the baby crying in the background just adds to this beautiful rendition. Thank you

I’m so sad to hear of Bill Withers passing and in any interview I saw, he radiated kindness, peace and love for all. The first time I heard his song “Ain’t No Sunshine” in 1971, I was captivated by his voice and his lyrics. Bill Withers was a powerful and quiet poet of emotions with a lush, beautiful voice. May this gifted man Rest In Peace. Yes, he sang “I know” 26 times. I loved the song that much. xo
Yes. First time I heard it on the radio long time ago beautiful memories what a good lyrics I love this song it's 2023 still listening. How are you Vicki ?
There is no reason to talk about how good the song is. It is so obvious like saying "Hello TH-cam". But for the records: Its so damn good. And the drummer is fun.
Thank you Bill Withers for such moving songs like 'Lean On Me', ' Grandma's Hands', Lovely Day' and many other soul bluesy gems including my favourite 'Ain't No Sunshine' - 81 years strong, his legacy that has touched millions of hearts will stay with us always.
This drummer knows the funniest joke in the universe but never tells anyone, he just keeps thinking about it all the time
And this joke was YOURS! I'M JUST FUCKING LOST FROM LAUGH!!

Que voz, que melodia, que arranjo uma música simplesmente sensacional...
I can’t believe he’s gone. I cried. With everything going on, this was the last straw for me. America is losing it’s gems.
Shed a tear and then smile. Wither's left a trove of fine music the sang with his heart.
Just sit and appreciate beautiful music Christine, it's what he would have wanted. Stay safe Hun!
Thank y’all for the comforting comments. It means a lot at a time like this.
I’m so sad to hear of Bill Withers passing and in any interview I saw, he radiated kindness, peace and love for all. The first time I heard his song “Ain’t No Sunshine” in 1971, I was captivated by his voice and his lyrics. Bill Withers was a powerful and quiet poet of emotions with a lush, beautiful voice. May this gifted man Rest In Peace. Yes, he sang “I know” 26 times. I loved the song that much. xo
Hello sunshine, happy new year to you and your family in good health and prosperity.

Both. Both is good
You can appreciate both
There is no reason to talk about how good the song is. It is so obvious like saying "Hello TH-cam". But for the records: Its so damn good. And the drummer is fun.
Thank you Bill Withers for such moving songs like 'Lean On Me', ' Grandma's Hands', Lovely Day' and many other soul bluesy gems including my favourite 'Ain't No Sunshine' - 81 years strong, his legacy that has touched millions of hearts will stay with us always.
