I know...

In the original 1971 version of "Ain't No Sunshine", Bill Withers says "I know" 26 times.

In the 'updated' version he released in 1989, he says "I know" 74 times after the first verse (including softly behind the solo), and then another 39 times after the second verse, for a total of 113 times.

He recorded his first album in breaks from his work at a factory, the back of the sleeve has him carrying a lunch box in his facotry duds.

"How do you turn a duck into a soul singer?"
"Put it in a microwave and wait till its bill withers"

gotta love a good duck joke!

i watched the bill withers documentary recently, he talks about that, that factory was a toilet factory, he built toilets. !!

he chatted about when he was discovered and clocked out of work at the toilet factory one day and rode the bus with his guitar to go play johnny carson that night, then back to work the next day!

Like the JD Salinger of soul music in some ways...
