Don't know if this has been posted before, but I just found this:
"Eight years ago, filmmakers Damani Baker and Alex Vlack had what seemed like a simple idea: make a film about music legend Bill Withers. Little was known about the man who wrote the classics "Ain't No Sunshine," "Lean on Me," and "Just the Two of Us" since he'd left the business to live a low-key, private family life. Four hours of interviews with Withers became forty hours. Forty hours became three hundred..."
And:
"Through interviews with Dr. Cornel West, Tavis Smiley, Sting, Angelique Kidjo, Jim James of My Morning Jacket, Withers' family, and his closest friends – along with Withers himself, STILL BILL presents an artist who has written some of the most beloved songs of our time and a man who truly understands the meaning of soul. Exclusive bonus features include performances of "Ain't no Sunshine" by Jim James (Yim Yames)"
To be released on January 25th.
Anyone know of this? Anyone buying it? :D

Damn thats really cool. I'd like to watch that when its released.
I'm not trying to be a stickler or anything, but 'Still Bill' was released this past January. You can get it here:

I highly recommend it, excellent documentary..... and the fact that it features Jim James is just icing on the cake.

Oh woopsies, I totally missed that, please forgive my confusion! :) Goodie that it's good though, I thought it might be interesting to check it out, but I'll have to check if it's available in the EU, since importing from the US just is no fun. :)
I'll be buying it. Thanks for posting Sara !
