Just The Two Of Us



Grover Washington was credited with this song but he never composed or wrote this song.

Ralph McDonald, a writer and producer wrote this song with his partner Bill Salter.

Some editing and vocals was done by Bill WIthers...
I remember watching Bill Withers perform an acoustic version of "Just the Two of Us" during the Grammys in the early 80's.

It was GREAT !!

Good Vibrations


The song Good vibrations from tour in 1976 including birthday party of brian with paul and linda Mccartney ...

I love this video,especially the part that shows Brian's birthday party in June,1976 with Paul McCartney and his daughter, Dennis and his third wife Karen ,Carl and his wife, Annie, and Carl's two sons.

Listen to the beautiful harmony when :
Carl - verses + "Gotta keep this lovin' good vibrations are happening with her" 1st time
Mike - "I'm pickin up good vibrations, she's givin' me exaltations" + "I don't know where but she sends me there"
Brian - "Good, good, good, good vibrations" + "Gotta keep this lovin' good vibrations are happening with her" 2nd and 3rd time
