Bill Withers (born July 4, 1938 in Slab Fork, West Virginia) is an American singer-songwriterwho performed and recorded from the late 1960s until the mid 1980s. Bill's father died when he was thirteen. He joined the US Navy at seventeen, and stayed there for nine years, before he moved to Los Angeles in 1967. While in Los Angeles, he worked in a Ford assembly plant in the day and performed in the juke joints during the night. When he debuted on the music scene with "Aint No Sunshine" he refused to give up his job at Ford because of his belief that the music business was a fickle industry and that he was still a novice compared to other working acts like The Temptationsor Sammy Davis, Jr.

Soul Shadows Lyrics

Bill Withers

San Francisco morning coming clear and cold

Dont know if Im waking or Im dreaming

Riding with Fats Waller on the Super Chief

He said, musics real, the rest is seeming

Oh, deep pain,

Feeling that wont go away

Theres the sound of his soul in the air

I can hear it up there

And I know he left those soul shadows

On my mind, on my mind, on my mind

Soul shadows on my mind

On my mind, on my mind

Soul shadows on my mind

On my mind, on my mind

Standing by the window as a fog rolls in

I swear I can hear a far-off music

Jelly Roll is playing down in Storyville

And Satchmo is wailing in Chicago

You ought to heard em play

Feelings that wont go away

Left the sound of their souls in the air

I hear out there and I know

They left them soul shadows all on my mind

On my mind, on my mind

They left them soul shadows all on my mind

On my mind, on my mind

They left soul shadows on my mind

They left them shadows on my mind

They left them soul shadows on my mind
