Brings back some fond memories.

Good vocal and arrangement.

What instruments did you use for this song?

I was asked by a music student at my Sons college if I would come and record something for her in the fully equipped college studio. She had an exam in recording techniques and needed to record a full song. I jumped at the chance and after a long and enjoyable afternoon this was the result. I am playing piano, keyboard, bass guitar, acoustic guitar , lead guitar and vocals. I managed to rope in a friend of mine from my old band to play the drums.
I was very pleased with the end result as was the student...........a great way to spend an afternoon.
Thanks for listening

Really like this. It has a lovely honesty about it - i.e. no grandstanding or dicking around, just classy and slick musicality. The vocal is excellent too - love it when you take it higher at the end. Beautifully done... I'm really impressed.

I just found a gem in the deep mines....wow!  I love this song. and I almost think this is better musically than the orig (egads)... I mean there is no other Bill Withers vocally, never can be....but this is great.... personally I am not into key changes but I barely noticed....this is grand!

Great cover of a great tune. Well played and sung, and the modulation is a nice touch.
