R.I.P: BILL WITHERS... 1938-2020 -------------------- O.K.... this is a REALLY hard one. πŸ˜ͺ I've been searching on the internet for hours for the picture of me and BILL WITHERS from 1997. I KNOW I posted it on MYSPACE along time ago (The social media site BEFORE ALOT OF Y'ALL were even born...) But unfortunately, I could not find it) ---------------------- However, This is my BILL WITHERS story: HE IS THE INSPIRATION for one of my BIGGEST underground HITS and my BIGGEST and most AWARDED and PRAISED Poem, "KEEP ON USING ME". ---------------------- When I let him hear it, He gave me the BIGGEST compliment one could ever recieve... HE SAID: " You have created the MOST INTELLECTUAL and Culturally Conscious version of one of my songs I have heard. YOU TELL OUR STORY WELL... Good Job !!!"πŸ…πŸ₯‰πŸ₯‰πŸŽ–πŸ† ---------------------- That said to me more than ANYBODY or ANYTHING else at that Time... πŸŽΆπŸŽ΅πŸŽΌπŸŽ™ --------------------- I should've asked him to either represent me or get me a record deal... ( BACK THEN the politics were so heavy, I got HATED ON,downplayed and eventually BLACKlisted even though I was one of the dopest poem/Rap/songwriters In the CONSCIOUS COMMUNITY.) -------------------- SO IF YOU WANNA HEAR IT ( and the Album that ALMOST got me signed at the time) Go to BANDCAMP and check out : "P.O.E.T ... The lifestyle soundtrack" http://tonybconscious.bandcamp.com/album/p-o-e-t ---------------------- EVERYTIME I Hear it, I realize, I was sooo ahead of my time... The production, The lyrics, The concepts and the Last Track, my poets Tribute song..." POETICALLY SPEAKING" ----------- Alot of my so- called Friends and colleagues didn't want to give me credit for...just because they NEVER wanted me to "BLOW UP " -------------------- However, this is about BILL WITHERS not so much me... SO I just thought I'd share this beautiful story with y'all. The song can also be found on another c.d. of mine, "BLACK HISTORY 101" http://tonybconscious.bandcamp.com/album/black-history-101 ---------------------- May all the young folks be inspired by him just as I was back in the day... HE WAS ONE OF THE BEST SONGWRITERS OF HIS DAY... period....πŸŽ™πŸŽΌπŸŽ΅πŸŽΆ ---------------------- (at Berkeley, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-kFn19jNVc/?igshid=1uyywiqddw7df
