Bill Withers - Ain,t No Sunshine

Deze week zaten de mannen van Racoon,mijn oud stadgenoten, in de DWDD.Ze mochten hun favoriete muziekavond samenstellen en dat was ze wel toevertrouwd. Zanger Bart kwam met Sly Stone op de proppen,gitarist Dennis met de prachtige film"Stop Makin Sence"van The Talking Heads,bassist Stephan had Elvis Costello op zijn lijstje ,en drummer Paul kwam tot mijn verrassing met het prachtige Ain,t no Sunshine van Bill Withers.Met de muzikale smaak smaak van de boys is niks mis mee,maar dat wist ik al een poosje.Ik kies deze keer voor de keuze van Paul .....


"Ain't No Sunshine" is geschreven door Bill Withers en komt van het album Just as I Am(1971)De productie was in handen van Booker T. Jones.
