And you dance like...? Huh


Moiye? I have got the rhythm  babe! 😂 Love dancing.
It comes from Ricky Martin genes you see, in my family tree from the 1700s!
My daughter does dance, performs etc.
I used to love ballet.
But I drew and did paintings of ballerinas.
My parents never took me to dance. Would have loved to be a ballerina.
I was taken to music lessons when I was younger, instead.
Nowadays, kids do multiple things! Parents running around all the time.i

I kinda like Nana Mouskouri myself.
Her sound was like China Bells ringing in my ears.


Grin Grin And Demis Rousos  Grin

I'd be avoiding all things China. LOL.

Never heard of him. I think I've heard the song 'Lean on Me'.

VALES go in Chat Lols.

I am sorry for your loss Lols.  Sad
Sounds like you were both close.


Lots of famous people did covers of his tunes.

Deni Hines did a version when she was with The Rockmelons.

Here she sings it with her more famous mum Marcia Hines.


And Stevie Wonder doing it with the man himself.



That was at Bill Withers induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of fame in 2015.

And John Legend with Stevie Wonder doing Lean on Me with Bill.



But I like originals.

The Bill Withers Story



Quote Bill Withers:

Quote:
"We are so remiss in overvaluing entertainers - of which I am one - no problem - and athletes & undervaluing the people among us who have less obvious gifts".

Good musics vids Gnads 👍

Thinking of these times all are going through, the lyrics of this song seem so apt for now.

Lean On Me
Bill Withers

Sometimes in our lives we all have pain
We all have sorrow
But if we are wise
We know that there's always tomorrow
Lean on me, when you're not strong
And I'll be your friend
I'll help you carry on
For it won't be long
'Til I'm gonna need
Somebody to lean on
Please swallow your pride
If I have things you need to borrow
For no one can fill those of your needs
That you won't let show
You just call on me brother, when you need a hand
We all need somebody to lean on
I just might have a problem that you'll understand
We all need somebody to lean on
Lean on me, when you're not strong
And I'll be your friend
I'll help you carry on
For it won't be long
'Til I'm gonna need
Somebody to lean on
You just call on me brother, when you need a hand
We all need somebody to lean on
I just might have a problem that you'll understand
We all need somebody to lean on
If there is a load you have to bear
That you can't carry
I'm right up the road
I'll share your load
If you just call me (call me)
If you need a friend (call me) call me uh huh(call me) if you need a friend (call me)
If you ever need a friend (call me)
Call me (call me) call me (call me) call me
(Call me) call me (call me) if you need a friend
(Call me) call me (call me) call me (call me) call me (call me) call me (call me)

Bill Withers one of the greats.....R.I.P.

Life's Journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting,
"Holy Sh!t ... What a Ride!"

Jesus   Roll Eyes

 
Says he who like weird Tnucs like Tism.

He was used as an example as to someone famous that the person I was addressing knows that has covered Bill Withers songs.

You ass.

Sheeran is still a better singer than you & considerably wealthier.

He's done very well and isn't up himself.

His music isn't my favourite style but credit where it's due. Roll Eyes
