Bill Withers
William Harrison "Bill" Withers, Jr. (born July 4, 1938) is an American singer-songwriter and musician who performed and recorded from 1970 until 1985. He recorded several major hits, including "Lean on Me", "Ain't No Sunshine", "Use Me", "Just the Two of Us", "Lovely Day", and "Grandma's Hands". Withers won three Grammy Awards and was nominated for four more. His life was the subject of the 2009 documentary film Still Bill. He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2015.
Early life
Withers was born the youngest of six children in the small coal-mining town of Slab Fork, West Virginia. He was born with a stutter and has said he had a hard time fitting in. Raised in nearby Beckley, he was thirteen years old when his father died. Withers enlisted with the United States Navy at the age of 18 and served for nine years, during which time he got over his stutter and became interested in singing and writing songs. Discharged from the Navy in 1965, he relocated to Los Angeles in 1967 for a musical career. Withers worked as an assembler for several different companies, including Douglas Aircraft Corporation, while recording demo tapes with his own money, shopping them around and performing in clubs at night. When he debuted with the song "Ain't No Sunshine" he refused to resign from his job because of his belief that the music business was a fickle industry.

You've Got The Stuff
by: Bill WithersIt's got something to do with the weather
That I'm feeling the way that I do
And It's got something to do with the time of my life
it's got something to do with you
It's got something to do with the feeling
That we get when we do what we do
And it's got something to do with your oop-shoo-be-do
And it's got something to do with you
You've got the stuff to pick me up
You've got the stuff to pick me up
You got the stuff, can't get enough
You've got the stuff to pick me up
Deep inside I don't want to hide my feelings
And I just gotta tell you that I love you
Got that little movement in your hip (so in love with you)
Got that lil pucker in your lip (don't know what to do)
Get that 'lil twinkle in your eye (that's the reason why)
Gonna find it hard to pass you by
It's got something to do with being peaceful
No regrets, just a memory or two
And it's got something to do with your oop-shoo-be-do
And it's got something to do with you
You've got the stuff to pick me up
You've got the stuff to pick me up
You got the stuff, can't get enough
