This song started with the two of us, William Salt and myself, and when Grover Washington
Jr.
decided to record it, he suggested that Bill Withers sing the song, and Bill came
in and sang, and not only sang, but he changed some of the words around.
And actually, just the two of us became the three of us, and this is the result.
