This is what cookouts sounded like before hip-hop. Lovely Day is an example of a perfect song. That doesn't mean that there aren't better songs; It just means that there's really nothing that could be done to this fantastic song to make it any better. The lyrics say what they need to say without being vague nor dense. The vocals convey the theme of the lyrics without any unnecessary flare. The composition is neither muddled nor minimalist. It's neither too long nor too short. It's just right, all around.
Probably deep in my 20's, I was in high school in the mid 80's, so music took me down a different road. Best music ever. 💜💜 One of me and my babe's songs.
Back in the 90's my 3 teenage boys and I were shopping in Gainesville Florida. I looked up and said oh my lord boys do you know who that is?. Yeah mom, that's Bill Withers. Proud momma! He was gracious to talk with us a few minutes. He was so happy to know young people appreciated him and his music 🎶
The beauty of Bill Withers is the simplicity of his songs. No complicated guitar riffs, just this really great funk sound that is irresistible. Good lyrics and fantastic vocals. His voice doesn’t need an entire band to cover up any flaws. It stands all on its own. He stood high on my list of artists along the likes of Stevie Wonder and my all time favourite Smokey Robinson.
Ohhhhh man… Like only a few years after they invented electricity maybe…🤔 Serious business, probably like 8-10 years old… And I STILL LOVE IT JUST AS MUCH!! 💥🎉🍾🥂👊 Bill was a soul MASTER!! Just The Two Of Us, Ain’t No Sunshine, Use Me Up, Grandma’s Hands…dude just flat out had MUCH talent!!
I was 19 years old, Bill Withers has a lot of beautiful songs, but lovely day is my absolute favorite by him, it’s a feel good songs, React to: grandmas hands, my second favorite song by Bill Withers, also react to: when I’m kissing my love, ain’t no sunshine when she’s gone, until you use me up, lean on me
Ok.... I’m telling my age now. I was 7 or 8 when this song came out. I remember bc I got a pair of roller skates and this was one of my jams to skate to. Lol. In two weeks (Nov 25th) I will be 51. But, I always get mistaken for my 29 year old daughter’s sister. Lol.
I was a teenager in the early 2000's and because of my dad, I gathered a very eclectic music collection. I was just checking out R&B/Soul/Neo-Soul/Motown music and my Dad immediately goes, "You HAVE to check out Bill Withers." He told I probably heard his hits but suggested I check out his deep cuts. My dad leaned towards blues-blues rock and Funk but he said, "When I need some soul...I go RIGHT to Bill Withers." A couple of days later and go to him and im like, "Dad...oh my god...Bill Withers..." he just laughs and goes, "RIGHT?!" lol. Been a huge fan ever since and my soul/heart hurt when he passed.
I made a comment under the original version - that there are two types of people in the world. Those that repeat "Lovely Day" in the chorus and those that hold the extended "day".
Bill Withers is Perfection. "Ain't no Sunshine", "Just the Two of Us", "Grandma's Hands"... what at time to be a kid in the late 70's; it was like music was in the air all the time.
Good vibes ! b-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-t! but no kaboomboom! :) I was 5 when this came out and was on the radio. The living room had a Sears Silvertone Stereo, and summer days would have tunes!
I appreciate yall's reactions. I'm a subscriber. Bill has always been one of my favorite artist. Also check out, "Who is he and what is he to you" and "Hope she'll be happier." Keep up the good work.
Dammmm. Ive complimented you guys before ,,,,,,, but i gotta say ! You are the couple of the day , week , month , year , decade , and century 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
This song was released in December of ‘77, and my late mother loved this song. I was born in February of ‘77, so I was 10 months old the first time I heard this song.
That's Bill Withers holding those notes; no overdubbing. According to Wikipedia: *_"Toward the end of the song Withers holds a note for 18 seconds, the longest of any Top 40 hit in the United States."_* This song was released 44 years ago on this date (12/21/1977)
I heard the song when I was just 4. It was my dads favorite song so I guess he got me hooked to it lol. I’m 18 now and even though I’ve grown a sense of taste for newer music, this song remains a favorite and will never get old🔥
I was in High School..shhhhhh.. but I know it is a timeless jam when y'all groovin to it just like we did back then..and the smiles on y'alls face LOVE IT!!!
Yes..Yes..My favorite album Bill withers live at Carnegie Hall...had album bought CD...Favorite song Grandmas Hands..Then there's can't write left handed...of course Ain't no Sunshine.. Thks
First heard this when I was 9 years old, mum driving us to the shops to get stuff to bake bread while I was off school for Easter. Dad was working so it was just the two of us, singing all the way to Asda and back. She’s gone now but always with me when I play Bill in the van at work. Man’s a legend.
I'm 45 now I'd guess I was around shit I'm not sure my parents listens to music just about every day I do know it go's back for me Love bill Lean on me Ain't no sunshine Just the 2 of us Lovely day ✌❤🤙👊
I've been listening to Bill Wither well before you were born. I'm very sorry that he passed away. He wrote his own songs and could play multiple instruments.
This is why I watch you! You guys are so genuine and I knew Jai was gonna hug Half! I really feel that your love! Now I need you to react to Wanda Sykes and I won't stop asking! Can't stop won't stop :)
Well it says it came out in 77 so I would have been 10 years old. I can remember it being on the radio. There's so many old school songs that you'll know but knowing all those artists is hard!! Hope y'all have a lovely evening😉😊
My father played everything but Sundays was Jazz day, and this kinda stuff Donny , Al, Marvin thank god I had a father who was in the music business got exposed to all types .... 14yrs first time heard this
Just love you two guys, period. Everything about you. Keep up the good work from a fan in Australia. I am 70 and grew up with 60s music and love your reactions. 💜
RIP Bill Withers. He died this year at the age of 81. This is a great song but Bill Withers' "Ain't No Sunshine" and "Grandma's Hands" are even better!
Really like this song always made me tap my feet and nod my head its a feel great song wasn't born when it first came out but i was 7 or 8 years old when i first heard this you should check out his songs lean on me, use me, just the two of us, ain't no sunshine and grandma's hand and when y'all said said if you can't control it don't worry bout it y'all took the words outta my mouth i been said it for years🔥🎶✌
My Mom had album so I was 8 but started appreciating him in my teens..Have his live at Carnegie Hall react to some of Thoose...Grandmas Hands..I can't write left handed...Lean on me
I fucking love you guys. Your reactions are real and I'm legit laughing with you even if I've seen the video you're reacting to multiple times. You make it feel like its the first time I've watched it
Uh yeah, don't tell nobody but I was 16 when this song was released in December of 1977 - yeah keep that on the hush 🤫

Agreed 100%! Nothing better than classy, smooth R&B; timeless. "Just the Two of Us" puts me in a state of Bliss.
It’s opinionated if u like the song u like it okay
Perfect.

Bill was a soul MASTER!! Just The Two Of Us, Ain’t No Sunshine, Use Me Up, Grandma’s Hands…dude just flat out had MUCH talent!!
I was 7 years old & went through a rough childhood, but this particular song would always cheer me up tremendously. 👍👍✌✌
@sandymcneill9829 Hope your doing better now dude.

I was 18 and loved that song. 70,s to mid_80s music was awesome. it was peace and soul
We listened to this song every morning before we went on patrol in Iraq. We always wanted a lovely day.
Bill Withers could sing the phone book and make it cool
I was 15 years old when I first heard this wonderful Bill Withers Classic.
I was 7 but not allowed to listen to this until 86 lol.
Ok.... I’m telling my age now. I was 7 or 8 when this song came out. I remember bc I got a pair of roller skates and this was one of my jams to skate to. Lol. In two weeks (Nov 25th) I will be 51. But, I always get mistaken for my 29 year old daughter’s sister. Lol.
I was 11 loved this song
One of the goats. MR. Withers never made a bad song
this song is the definition of good vibes
Don't remember how old I was ( probably my 20's lol), but if this song doesn't make you smile, somthings wrong. LOVE this song always have. Thanks.

I was around 8 years old when I first heard this song. Riding to beach with my Mom. Miss her now but still have the music to show the way.
Bill Withers = "Ain't No Sunshine". Opposite sentiment of this song. I heard them both when I was 14 or 15.
So happy you guys are doing Bill Withers. On my Mt.Rushmore for sure. R.I.P. Bill!
13 years old ☮️💜 And I cannot wait to see the skating video!!
I was 11 or 12 and I still listen to it.
Yeah, I’m embarrassed to say I was 50 when I first heard this song. I am 50 now. Love Bill Withers but never heard this song. I am now addicted!
Bill Withers is Perfection. "Ain't no Sunshine", "Just the Two of Us", "Grandma's Hands"... what at time to be a kid in the late 70's; it was like music was in the air all the time.

You are the couple of the day , week , month , year , decade , and century 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Oh Bill Withers? From the womb love. My dad used to sing Just the Two of Us to my mom's pregnant belly and then it was our lullaby.
This song was released in December of ‘77, and my late mother loved this song. I was born in February of ‘77, so I was 10 months old the first time I heard this song.
Bill Withers had fantastic music. One of my favorites was Lean On Me! I was in high school ya'll. Yes I'm a VERY YOUNG 65 :) Love you guys :)
first time i heard that gem i was in my early teens and now in my middle fifties......

I was 16 graduating from high school. Love tt!!! All 👍 right.
I was 24. A timeless song. Perfect.
Ah yeah, Bill Withers and the 18 second note! Considered one of the longest held notes in a song.
I was in High School..shhhhhh.. but I know it is a timeless jam when y'all groovin to it just like we did back then..and the smiles on y'alls face LOVE IT!!!
Would love to see you be the skating Queen. Love your spirit.

I can watch you two all day. Your laughs are contagious. Bill is legend! I was 9 when I first heard this. Do Lean on me and Ain't no sunshine by him.
I’m so old, I don’t remember, but I think I was in elementary school. This song has only gotten better with age.
I was a few weeks ago younger when it started playing in that commercial, and it just got catchier and catchier until I had to look it up. 32.
I was 7 yrs old so many good memories ❤❤
I was in middle school when this came out ☮️

RUSSELL WESTBROOK ON A FARM - LIL DICKY
I don't know how old I was the first time I heard it, but I was about five when it came out. I think.
Well, I was 15 when it came out in 1977
Older music will always be the best music ever
I was 18 years old. Oh my god I was young back in 1977.
I heard this song in 1979 I was 5 years old.
Funny reaction.
Can't listen to this song and not be groovin.
For a really funky Bill Withers song, check out the live versions of Use Me.
I was 26,Bill Withers is so soulful
I fucking love you guys. Your reactions are real and I'm legit laughing with you even if I've seen the video you're reacting to multiple times. You make it feel like its the first time I've watched it
He could just hold a note , chorus repeat, still holding it.
I love you two ❤🔥❤🔥
Love Halfs energy!!!!
I was 10 years old and this used to come on in my dad’s car, so relaxing, nice memories.
I was 16 when I first heard this in 1978. I was amazed at him holding that note for 18 seconds! This was before digital enhancement! That’s him!
3 or 4 years old definitely ❤️❤️
love y’all energy
