By pop music standards, singer-songwriter Bill Withers started his career late (he was in his early 30s), retired relatively early (in his mid-40s), and was never exactly prolific even during his active years.

About this product
Product Information
Bill Withers was one of the singular musical artists of the 1970s; an African-American singer/songwriter, Withers embraced elements of soul and funk in some of this hits (most notably "Use Me"), but he also drew from gospel ("Lean on Me"), jazz ("Just the Two Of Us"), country ("Who Is He and What Is He to You"), and contemporary folk ("Ain't No Sunshine" and "Grandma's Hands"), and his music was marked by a simple but expressive emotional outlook and a warm sincerity in both his vocals and his songwriting. Withers was a major star in the 1970s, but by 1985 he'd grown tired of battling record companies for control of his music and wanted to step away from the footlights to live a quieter life with his family. Withers has rarely performed in public since, despite a continued interest in his music and the respect of his peers. Filmmakers Alex Vlack and Damani Baker are a pair of music fans who persuaded Withers to talk about his life and career on camera, and STILL BILL is a documentary that offers an intimate portrait of a reclusive artist, as well as interviews and performances from musicians who love and respect his work. STILL BILL received its world premiere at the 2009 South by Southwest Film Festival.Product Identifiers

Enlightened not entertained
I ordered this DVD because I've long admired Bill Withers music of the 70's and 80's era. This DVD was all about his life and how he got started. I was hoping to see him perform his hits but no chance of that. I even thought there would have been songs in the extra section but again nothing. So if you want a DVD just about him because it is rare to find something in this format go ahead and buy it, if you want a concert performance don't.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
