This song is covered by so many different people and yet the name Bill Withers just isn't a household name.

Is Chris Rea known in the States? His slide guitar work is probably the worlds best -

I like Chris Rea. I love his song Working On It. You'll like this video Ed.

Ignore the cheesy slideshow video and just listen to the tune in the background.

Too funny that you already knew the video Ed. I should have figured as much.

Great song writer. I never have gotten into his voice though. He plays a good bad guy too.

I couldn't find a good video for this one but it is a cool song.

Pretty gritty lyrics:

It is complete now the two ends of time are neatly tied
A one-way street, she's walking to end of the line
And there she meets the faces she keeps in her heart and mind

They say 'good bye' tomorrow, Wendy, is going to die,
They say 'good bye' tomorrow, Wendy, is going to die,

Underneath the chilly gray November sky
We can make believe that Kennedy is still alive and
We're shooting for the moon and smiling Jackie's driving by and

They say 'good try'
Tomorrow Wendy is going to die
Tomorrow Wendy is going to die

I told the priest, Don't count on any second coming
God got his ass kicked the first time he came down here slumming
He had the balls to come, the gall to die and then forgive us
No, I don't wonder why, I wonder what he thought it would get us
Hey, hey, good bye
Tomorrow Wendy's going to die

Hey, hey, good bye
Tomorrow Wendy's going to die
Tomorrow Wendy's going to die

Only God says jump
So I set the time
'Cause if he ever saw her
It was through these eyes of mine
And if he ever suffered it was me who did his crying

Hey hey, good bye
Tomorrow Wendy's going to die
(Tomorrow Wendy's going to die)
Tomorrow Wendy's going to die
(Tomorrow Wendy's going to die)
Tomorrow Wendy'd going to die

Hey, hey, good bye
Tomorrow Wendy's going to die

Hey, hey, good bye
Tomorrow Wendy's going to die
Tomorrow Wendy's going to die
Tomorrow Wendys going to die
 
Ahh.. I was looking for this thread.
Here's one of my favorite tunes by a band called The Delays. Ignore the silly video...

Nice Marley cover Frans.

Sesame Street is cool. Play this and try not to move for a minute. I bet you can't.
