Got a chance to meet Bill Withers when he came into the supermarket I was working at in Los Angeles in the early 70’s (can’t remember the year).

The saddest one I know. Done here with the best back-up singer in the world.

That's very cool. And so was he. Love his music

Yes, was was very cordial and made no attempt to disguise himself (no hat or sunglasses).

Let me know how you like it! It is one of my favorites.

Got it, listened to it, Agree! Others may like it too. The CD is reasonably priced. Note that it's only in Italian...songs, notes etc. All I know in Italian is "Pizza" and "Due birre, per favore." That and a few dramatic hand gestures and pointing got us through Italy, thankfully. Good music is good music though, and listenable in any language. Thanks again for the recommendation. Grazie.

Probably the best thing that happened to Iris was Northern Exposure picking this up fo finish out their final episode, and The Leftovers picking up the equally great Let The Mystery Be for their Season 2 theme song. Absent those two pieces of good fortune, I wonder how many fewer people would have heard her wonderful music.
