The bass player looking cool as shit too... posted up in the corner on a stool.
On a serious note, turns out the drummer was a Staxx legend. Al Jackson JR. He met an unfortunate end.

The bass player looks like Kanye's uncle or something.
And R.I.P. Al Jackson, Jr. Dude laid down some dope grooves for Booker T & the MGs, Al Green, Albert King, & other great artists.
Real folks,making real music.....
jam session?, chill session!!

All Bill's songs were short except when he was with Grover Washington doing "Just the Two of Us."
No disrespect to the OP but... That's not Al Jackson jr...
That's James Gadson... He was the drummer of Charles Wright and the 103rd st. Band(Express Yourself by NWA)... and Bill Withers... Here's a Video of him ,Earl Palmer and Paul Humphery with DJ Babu... These dudes are responsible for a lot of Breakbeats...... Anyway... Enjoy....

Man, "Ain't No Sunshine" and "Lean On Me" were absolute perfection. I watched an Ovation special about "Singer/Songwriters". I thought I'd get an education on Bob Dylan, The Byrds, Linda Rondstat and people like that. Real good stuff about how music developed to the point of Christopher Cross DOMINATING music in 1980.
Then out of nowhere, they come back from commercial with Bill Withers. Bill was hanging with hippies and working during the day before he "Sunshine". He didn't necessarily come out of the standard path of RnB. I remember shouting at the announcer "but that downbeat when the band comes in on "Sunshine" is as funky as anything ever laid down!".

Brotha,
Thanks for this! I'll have to get to youtube and watch the whole film now!
nice.
You ain't lyin'. Some of my earliest memories is my old man bumping this track on the regular. He had quite an impressive collection of records back then.
Which world cac? Lol..Nothing good about these fools, but then again we might be judging them by your meager standards..They rythm is childish, the percussion is one note..the guitar is on that awful tone..etc etc .I could go on and on...What is good about this????
What's "good" is that YOU don't like it (which only justifies why the rest of the world has for the last 50 years).
NO COMMENT
Accusing an African of being gay is more stupid than accusing a bird of being able to swim underwater... You people are like the Tea Party which quixotically tried to depict Obama as the Nazi that its members are. You seem to think that the person who attacks first has the stronger case than the person who has the evidence to back his assertions. Your country IS the homosexual country. Your country IS the one that is trying to force homosexuality on my people. You are the homosexuals. That is your culture, that is your life. No matter how you cut it, deep inside, you know it is true. You are the ones who lick anuses of both men and women.
What's "good" is that YOU don't like it (which only justifies why the rest of the world has for the last 50 years).
Let me shed some information on you cac: that is not good music...
These 4 kids are better than the band you
posted in every way. Their guitar is better,
there percussion is better..Their song has
more rythm and their one 4-string home made
guitar has better melody..

Also Al Jackson drummed on and co-wrote alot of Al Greens biggest hits:
Al jackson had a very distinctive drumming style.

Good shit.
music of the 2000s can't compare to ANY of the decades before (70s and 80s are my favorites) ...and I even mean the 90s.Similar threads
