Library to screen 'Still Bill'

Still Bill: Yellow Springs Library Special Screening of a New Documentary about Bill Withers, Thursday July 22, 6:00 p.m. (Registration required).

Still Bill is an intimate portrait of soul legend Bill Withers, best known for his classics “Ain’t No Sunshine,” “Lean On Me,” “Lovely Day,” “Grandma’s Hands,” and “Just the Two of Us.” With his soulful delivery and warm, heartfelt sincerity, Withers has written the songs that have – and always will – resonate deeply within the fabric of our times.

“Still Bill is one of those rare documentaries that delivers what it promises: an incredible journey into the life of a legendary artist. Bill Withers is as cool as his music, and a guy whose humility is completely incongruous with the enormous impact his songs have had on the music business and pop culture,” said Chris Hyams, B-Side’s Founder and CEO, “Alex and Damani have done a brilliant job of crafting a beautiful portrait of this amazing man.”

Filmmakers Damani Baker and Alex Vlack follow Withers and offer a unique and rare look inside the world of this fascinating man. Through concert footage, journeys to his birthplace, interview with music legends, his family and closest friends, Still Bill presents the story of an artist who has written some of the most beloved songs in our time and who truly understands the heart and soul of a man.
