Podcasts about Still Bill

One of the more underrated - some might say virtually lost - bands of the early rock era is Delaney & Bonnie.  This singer-songwriter duo is made of session guitarist/vocalist Delaney Bramlett and his wife and former Ikette Bonnie Bramlett.  Just as important as this founding couple is the number of talented musicians they brought into their recordings, with albums often being referenced as recorded by "Delaney & Bonnie and friends."  These "friends" included luminaries such as Leon Russell, Eric Clapton, George Harrison, Duane Allman, Greg Allman, Steve Howe, and Rita Coolidge.  D&B Together is the sixth and final album from Delaney & Bonnie.  Originally entitled "Country Life," the album was delivered to Atco/Atlantic Records behind schedule and rushed into distribution.  Although Atlantic executive Jerry Wexler was a friend of the duo, he didn't think the quality was where it needed to be and withdrew it from the market.  He later sold the contract and the album's master tapes to CBS, who reordered the running sequence and re-released it in March 1972.  In addition to frequent collaborators Eric Clapton, Leon Russell, and Duane Allman, this album also contains the work of "friends" like Dave Mason, Billy Preston, and Tina Turner. Despite the title, Delaney and Bonnie would divorce shortly after the album came out.  Drugs were taking their toll on the couple and their relationship could not survive it.  However, they did have a daughter named Bekka Bramlett, who was a member of Fleetwood Mac from 1993-1995 and had a long career as a backing vocalist in the music industry.Bruce presents this underrated rock/soul album for this week's podcast.Comin' HomeThis song was released in December 1969 by Atco Records (US) and Atlantic Records (international).  It was co-written by Bonnie Bramlett and Eric Clapton, and features Eric Clapton.  It went to number 84 on the US pop charts.  The lyrics are about being on the road and getting ready to come home to the one the singer loves.  Only You Know and I KnowDave Mason originally wrote and recorded this song in 1970, and it became his first charting single, going to number 42 on the Billboard Hot 100.  Delaney & Bonnie re-recorded it and took it to number 20 on the same chart.  This single was released in 1971, another single that came out before the album.  I Know Something Good About YouThis is a deeper cut on the album with an upbeat, funky sound.  It was written by Delaney Bramlett and Joe Hicks.  Groupie (Superstar)Most people recognize this as a hit from the Carpenters, but this is the original.  Rita Coolidge came up with the idea after observing female groupies with rock starts in the late 60's, and the song was written by Bonnie Bramlett and Leon Russell.  It was the B-side to "Comin' Home."  Richard Carpenter picked it up for the Carpenters, and changed some of the lyrics to be less risqué.   ENTERTAINMENT TRACK:Main theme from the television series The RookiesThis police action series debuted in October 1972. STAFF PICKS:And You and I by YesWayne leads off the staff picks with an excerpt of the 10+ minute work written by Jon Anderson, Bill Bruford, Steve Howe, and Chris Squire. The entire song consists of four parts, but the first two were released as a single edit which hovered just outside the top 40 on the Billboard charts.   You Wear It Well by Rod StewartRob brings us the first single from Stewart's fourth studio album, "Never a Dull Moment."  It went to number 13 on the Billboard Hot 100, and number 1 on the UK singles chart.  Many consider this an arrangement of Stewarts hit "Maggie May."  As with his previous album, members of the Faces join in as musicians on "Never a Dull Moment."Lean On Me by Bill WithersLynch features a song written and performed by Withers.  It was inspired by his experience growing up in a mining town in West Virginia. The community ethic of that town was something Withers missed when he moved to Los Angeles.  It was the first single from Withers' second album, "Still Bill." Turn to Stone by BarnstormBruce brings us a song inspired by frustration over the Vietnam War, the Nixon Administration, and the protesting that was going on at the time.  Joe Walsh left the James Gang and formed a group called Barnstorm.  The group put out three albums including one with the wonderful title "The Smoker You Drink, the Player You Get."  This song is off the group's self-titled debut album.  COMEDY TRACK:My Ding-a-Ling by Chuck BerryWe close out this week's podcast with Berry's double entendre masterpiece, on the charts in this month.   Thanks for listening to “What the Riff?!?” NOTE: To adjust the loudness of the music or voices, you may adjust the balance on your device.

In this long-anticipated episode, your hosts discuss their world travels, illnesses, and Jon's hospital visit. Keep an ear out around 20:00 when we play Matt's awful clip from his vacation, which careful listeners might remember as being his homework from last episode. As far as episodes go, you could do worse than this one. It's exactly what you'd expect out of the boys after a short hiatus. They eventually stumble into a few reviews, including Fensler Film's GI Joe PSA shorts and Bill Withers' second album, Still Bill.

Eine der unverkennbarsten Stimmen des Soul ist Bill Withers. Vor 50 Jahren ist sein zweites Studioalbum Still Bill erschienen, das einen Höhepunkt in seiner Diskographie markiert und uns einige Klassiker beschert hat, die aus unserem Programm nicht wegzudenken sind. (superfly.fm)

As broadcast July 8, 2021 with bonus beats for you podcast measurers.  We pay one week overdue tribute to "Stakes Is High," a landmark album released by De La Soul last week in 1996.  An album whose reverberations can still be very felt today, we rocked some beats & lo-fi stuff for the entirety of part 1.  In the 2nd half of our Sampled funk & soul first hour, we marked this date in 1972 when "Lean On Me" by Bill Withers went to #1, and got a couple of new joints from Izo Fitzroy & Lady Wray in, then finished with a couple Ethiojazz & Zambian soul classics from the 1970's.  Dan Lloyd joined us after the jump and with pickins pretty slim due to the 4th of July holiday in the US, he also went with a few new cuts while also going through some tunes that he did not play on the show just due to the volume of stuff coming out, especially in May & June.#feelthegravityTracklisting:Part I (00:00)Dela – Stakes Is HighPete Rock – For The PeopleOddissee – Beach Dr.Jazz Liberators – Clin D'oeilDigable Planets – Black EgoPart II (31:10)Bill Withers – Lean On MeBill Withers – I Can't Write Left-HandedIzo Fitzroy – Everybody Knows This Ain't RightLady Wray – Games People PlayHailu Mergia & The Walias – TezetaAmanaz – Khala My Friend Part III (61:54)Frank Carter and the Rattlesnakes – StickyThe Ophelias – Neil Young on High ft Julien BakerPoppy – HerPuppy – AngelThe Wallflowers – Who's That Man Walking Round My GardenTom Petty and the Heartbreakers – 105 Degrees Part IV (91:57)Death From Above 1979 – Free AnimalThe Armed – A Life So WonderfulKing Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard – Catching SmokeAdult Mom – Frost'68 – Bad BiteFaye Webster – Cheers

As broadcast November 20, 2020.  We welcome the lovely & inimitable Argentine singer-songwriter Pilar Padin as this week's guest artist selector.  Her debut album Desde Las Sombras came out earlier this year and pretty much put her on our radar down at Drop Central.  She rocked a playlist of classics from Bob Marley, Bill Withers & Aretha amongst others.  A great talent and incredible artist, she was a joy to talk tunes with and is one to keep an eye on generally.#feelthegravityTracklisting:Part I (00:00)James Brown – Funky DrummerDelvon Lamarr Organ Trio – Call Your MomLauryn Hill – Every Ghetto, Every CityBrainstory – Beautyful BeautiMonophonics – Last One StandingPart II (30:03)Aretha Franklin – Dr. Feelgood (Live 1968)Bill Withers – Grandma's Hands (Live 1972)Bob Marley – Soul AlmightyLos Fabulosos Cadillacs – Siguiendo La LunaLos Gatos – La BalsaPilar Padin – OcasoPilar Padin - Revelaciones Part III (60:17)Pilar Padin – Déjà vuBob Marley & The Wailers – Them Belly Full (But We Hungry)Ms. Lauryn Hill feat Mary J.

This episode we take a look at the life of the recently departed soul legend Bill Withers as we also discuss his sophomore album "Still Bill" released in 1972. Too many great artists lost in such a short time this year.

Va a ser difícil recuperarnos de la pérdida de John Prine, a quien ayer dedicamos nuestro programa. Su muerte ha dejado huérfana a la comunidad de la Americana music. No hace mucho, Jason Isbell realizaba esta interpretación acústica de "Hello in There", una canción perteneciente al disco de debut del mítico artista de Illinois allá por 1971. Esa canción surgió a partir de “Across The Universe” de John Lennon y se convirtió en una reflexión conmovedora sobre el envejecimiento. La versión de Jason isbell ha formado parte del recopilatorio Music Moments de la Asociación del Alzheimer, un proyecto en el que los artistas abordan canciones que aprecian a nivel emocional. Old Crow Medicine Show ha querido enviar un mensaje positivo con una nueva canción, "Nashville Rising", compuesta por su líder Ketch Secor poco después del tornado que devastó la capital de Tennessee el pasado 3 de marzo. Poco antes de que las medidas para combatir el coronavirus lo impidieran, el grupo se reunió con invitados tan especiales como Molly Tuttle, Shelly Colvin y Skylar Wilson, en el estudio que el grupo tiene en East Nashville para grabar todos juntos "Nashville Rising", cuyos ingresos serán donados al Fondo de Respuesta a Emergencias de la Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee. El nuevo álbum de Ashley McBryde, Never Will, supone el cuarto de la carrera de esta nativa de Waldron, Arkansas, que tras autoeditarse un álbum de debut en 2007 se trasladó a Nashville para buscar su lugar en la escena de la Country music. Tras una segundo álbum, fue una canción como "A Little Dive Bar in Dahlonega" la que llamó la atención de todos nosotros hace tres años y nos hizo profundizar en sus composiciones. El productor Jay Joyce se puso a su lado y un trabajo como Going Going Nowhere la hizo despegar definitivamente. Después de una curiosa serie de singles y vídeos que anticiparon su nuevo registro, “Velvet Red” se convierte en su tema más enraizado. 25 Trips es el quinto álbum de Sierra Hull, una de las más sólidas representantes del bluegrass hecho por mujeres y una de las mandolinistas más consideradas del género. Esta jovencísima nativa de Byrdstown, en Tennessee, ha dado un paso más en su nueva grabación, incluyendo elementos a los que no había recurrido en sus grabaciones anteriores, como es la utilización de la batería y la electrificación de la guitarra y la mandolina. Eso supone un cierto toque aperturista dentro de un estilo no demasiado proclive precisamente a reflexionar en ese sentido. El disco vuelve a ser una delicia sonora a la que han sido invitados su propio marido, Justin Moses, junto a instrumentistas del prestigio de Stuart Duncan, Bryan Sutton y Viktor Krauss que en temas como “Poison”, compuesto junto a la virginiana Laura Leigh Jones, recuperan la frescura y naturalidad de tocar en vivo con una sincronización perfecta. También hemos viajado hasta Montana, donde se crió Tessy Lou Williams rodeada de un ambiente musical que comenzó en la banda familar, Montana Rose, que iniciaron sus padres. Esas son las raíces que la llevaron a Austin y posteriormente a Nashville, donde ahora publicará su disco de debut, de título homónimo, marcado por la tradición y con el apoyo de Ashley Campbell, Brennen Leigh, Carl Jackson, Larry Cordle, Jon Randall y algunos otros. "Mountain Time in Memphis", es una canción que describe a la perfección la situación de una mujer con una nueva vida en Tennessee pero que dejó el amor en Montana. En la composición ha intervenido Jerry Salley, su primer contacto en Music City y con quién empezó a escribir canciones. Frente a la imagen poco real que suele dibujar la industria de Nashville, cada vez encontramos más “forajidas” que contraponer su respeto y cariño por la tradición musical. Este es el caso de Jess Jocoy, que acaba de lanzar su primer álbum, Such A Long Way, como continuación de su debut de 2018 con el EP New Heart/Old Soul. La artista del sur de Seattle, en el estado de Washington, llegó a Nashville para convertir su esperanza de compartir sus experiencias y su propia visión de la realidad y así lo manifiesta en canciones como "The Ballad of Two Lovers", que trata sobre cuando a una relación de tiempo le quitas el romanticismo de estar enamorado. Es una especie de conmovedor homenaje a la disfunción del amor, y muestra que se puede salir de una situación tan triste. Eilen Jewell es una mujer inquieta a la que un periodo de cuarentena no la la detiene, de tal forma que ha recuperado uno de los grandes clásicos de la country music como “A Satisfied Man” para sacarlo a la luz aprovechando estas fechas de Pascua. Eilen solía tocarla con su grupo The Sacred Shakers, su grupo de góspel, aunque no es un tema religioso. La grabó en el Audio Lab de Garden City, en Idaho, con los otros tres miembros de su banda, su marido Jason Beek, Matt Murphy y Jerry Miller. Red Hays, que había compuesto “A Satisfied Man” junto a Jack Rhodes, la grabó por primera vez en 1954. Al año siguiente, Porter Wagoner la llevó al No. 1 de las listas de country y los Byrds la versionaron magistralmente en su segundo álbum Turn, Turn, Turn de 1965. 2020 es año bisiesto y se está haciendo notar en su aspecto más negativo. A la trágica pandemia se ha unido la muerte de otros músicos por diferentes causas, como ha sido el caso de Bill Withers, que moría por problemas cardíacos el pasado día 30 de marzo. Joan Osborne, una cantautora que nunca ha dejado de sorprendernos dando clases magistrales de cómo interpretar temas de cualquier estilo musical, desde el country al rhythm and blues. La artista, originaria de Anchorage, un suburbio de Louisville, en Kentucky, se marchó a Nueva York en los 80 y desde entonces ha venido desarrollando una actividad musical encomiable. Breakfast In Bed fue su trabajo de hace 13 años, donde repasaba algunos de los mayores éxitos del rhythm and blue en los últimos 60 y primeros 70. Ese es el caso de “Ain’t No Sunshine”, la canción más popular para Bill Withers, que la incluyó en Just As I Am, su álbum de debut en 1971. Se trata de una canción de desamor atemporal, en la que se canta a un mundo desprovisto de amor y de luz. Y todo en escasamente tres minutos. Una obra maestra. Bill Whiters nos dejó impecables muestras de su poderío como compositor e intérprete en sus años de carrera. Ahí está, por ejemplo, “Lean On Me”, un majestuoso apunte de nostalgia de ese músico, ahora desaparecido, procedente de la zona minera de West Virginia que en 1972 alcanzaba la cima de las listas de soul y pop en Estados Unidos en la voz de su propio compositor. Por otro lado, Eric Bibb es un neoyorquino cuya familia tiene puntos de encuentro con el Modern Jazz Quartet, Pete Seeger, Odetta o Paul Robeson, y que posee la rara habilidad de fusionar el blues tradicional con sonidos más contemporáneos gracias a una extraordinaria versatilidad. Junto a Maria Muldaur y Rory Block nos dejó esta versión impagable de aquel clásico de hace más de cuatro décadas que ahora vuelve a estar más presente que nunca. “Lean On Me” (Apóyate en mí) fue el primer single del segundo álbum de Bill Withers, Still Bill, en 1972, pero la inspiración vino de muchos años antes. Fue la camaradería de su ciudad natal, una comunidad minera de carbón en West Virginia, la que le llevó a componerla sentado al piano en Los Ángeles, a más de 2.500 millas de distancia. Early Morning Rain supondrá el primero de mayo el más reciente trabajo de Steve Forbert, un álbum que también bucea en canciones que están escritas en las páginas más brillantes de la historia de la música popular de raíces norteamericanas. Es un reconocimiento entrañable y formal a lo que representan por sí mismas 11 de sus canciones favoritas de las que tan solo una está compuesta después de 1973. Entre las seleccionadas está "Good Time Charlie's Got The Blues", que fue grabada por primera vez en 1967 por su creador, Danny O’Keefe, un cantante y compositor de Spokane, en el estado de Washington, que no la sacó a la luz hasta 1971 cuando publicó el primero de sus álbumes y que volvió a grabar para el segundo. Ha tenido infinidad de lecturas posteriores y entre las más cercanas en el tiempo recordamos las de Charley Crockett en 2018 y Ronnie Dunn en este mismo año. Midland concluyó su Electric Rodeo Tour en la primavera del pasado año con una sonada actuación en el Ryman Auditorium. El trío tejano de Dripping Springs estaba probando las canciones de su último álbum de estudio, Let It Roll, que publicaría en verano, y al que ha continuado una grabación en directo realizada en el legendario The Palomino de Los Angeles a comienzos de este año. Desde sus inicios, Midland procuraron equilibrar su devoción por las inclinaciones más neo-tradicionalistas del George Strait de los 80 con la riqueza armónica de de la dorada California de la década anterior que entronizó a los Eagles. La banda alterna sus canciones más reconocidas con algunas versiones que abarcan una extensa gama de posibilidades y que permiten escuchar canciones de John Denver, ZZ Top, Allman Brothers o Tom Petty. Incluso tuvieron tiempo de entrar en el estudio para grabar una sesión exclusiva para Amazon que dejó esta revisión de “Wicked Game”, que Chris Isaak, que subió al escenario con ellos en una de sus presentaciones en suelo californiano, firmó para su álbum de 1989 Heart Shaped World, convirtiéndose en un éxito absoluto cuando formó parte de la banda sonora de la película de David Lynch Wild at Heart –Corazón salvaje- al año siguiente.

Sadly, Bill Wither's who is known for his famous song, "Lean On Me" passed away last week on March 30th.If you didn't know, there was actually a documentary about his life released some time ago called: Still Bill. There is a scene where Bill is talking to a group of kids and these are all kids that have speech impediments. He tells them that when he was a child, he had a terrible, terrible stuttering problem and it's really fascinating because you don't pick up on that. It's something he worked very, very hard on as a kid to overcome and when Bill is talking to these kids about what it's like to grow up with a stuttering problem, he introduces a concept that he says he lived by. He says that he was able to get through his childhood without bitterness and resentment because of something he decided he was going to do called: prepared forgiveness.

One of the sweetest voices of soul’s golden era in the 1970s, Bill Withers is best known for hits like “Ain’t No Sunshine” and “Lean on Me,” about growing up in a West Virginia coal mining town. In 2010, Withers joined us in studio to talk about the documentary Still Bill, which chronicled his life and career. Bill Withers, the artist behind the classic “Just the Two of Us,” and “Grandma's Hands,” (it was his favorite song), died on Friday at 81.

We celebrate William Harrison Withers Jr. "Bill Withers," today.  Born in Slab Fork, West Virginia, July 4, 1938 in a family of 13, he the youngest, most people know him as an American singer-songwriter and musician who performed and recorded from 1970 until 1985. He recorded several major hits, including "Ain't No Sunshine", "Grandma's Hands", "Use Me", "Lean on Me", "Lovely Day", and "Just the Two of Us." However, he was so much more and we learn about these other dimensions of a man who stopped recording for 33 years to have a family and a life with that family. The film, "Still Bill," co-directed by friends and colleagues, Damani Baker and Alex Vlack, is a wonderful portrait of this complex man's life from growing up in a coal mining town, to joining the navy to working in the air force making toilets, to fame in his 30s.  I am going to play a little of the audio here this morning following an interview with director, Damani when the film was debuting in a free community screening at the Kabuki Theatre in San Francisco 11 years ago.  We open with Amikaeyla Gaston singing "Lovely Day." We then shift to a conversation with Simone Missick, who portrays the character Camae in Katora Hall's play "The Mountaintop" (2013) at TheatreWorks in Palo Alto, CA.  We play Nina Simone's moving Why did they kill the man of peace? After that song, well what could anyone say? So we play about 30 minutes of "Still Bill." Watch it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wdizl63aols  In between the two segments I read a review of the play. The show is Wanda's Picks tribute to two great men from a generation of men and women slipping into other dimensions so quickly we need to pay attention and enjoy their gifts now before they return to the earth. .  Aṣẹ, Aṣẹ, Aṣẹ-o.

Thanks in advance! ............................................................................................... In 1977 a singer I knew as a background singer released her first solo record, Just A Stone's Throw Away. She had been singing with some of my favorite artists. People like Linda Ronstadt, Don Henley, Little Feat, Jackson Browne, and James Taylor. Her name was Valerie Carter. She was 24. In 1980 Jackson Browne released a famous song, "That Girl Could Sing," which was likely about Valerie. She battled drug addiction for years. She died in 2017. She was 64. Track number 3 on that debut record is a song, "Heartache." Click here to listen to the song. Today's show title is a lyric from that song. Valerie, like you and me, knew heartache. Lowell George of Little Feat co-wrote the song. We're not going to end the year on a downer note. Instead, we're going to be optimistic. Not because we stick our head in the sand, but because we're strong enough to face the realities of our pain and heartache. And the reality that for some of us 2018 was a grand year of heartache. Valerie sang that lyric directly to Heartache. "Heartache, find another place to be. I'm tired of being your best friend." She's tired of providing the landing place for heartache. Tired of embracing heartache as her best friend. It's a breakup song with heartache. Is there any better time to give heartache the heave-ho? Here at the end of the year? Ditching heartache isn't nearly so neat and tidy. Would that we could just make up our mind to be done with it. Not so easy. 2018 brought some of us extraordinary heartache. I know some LTW listeners who lost spouses. Some who suffered betrayal from a spouse. Some who endured heavy financial strains. Others who lost jobs. Some endured the heartache of loved ones addicted to drugs. Some were diagnosed with diseases. Heartache knows no bounds. It touches all of us, in a variety of ways. Songs of trouble and heartache resonate with us because it's such a universal experience. As I was listening to Valerie sing the song responsible for today's podcast title, I thought of other songs. Ry Cooder's song, "Trouble, You Can't Fool Me" from his 1979 album, Bop Til You Drop. And there's the song I always think of by Mat Kerney, from his 2009 album, City Of Black & White. The song, "Closer To Love" contains the line, "We're all one phone call from our knees." It depicts a phone call that buckles us, causes us such heartache we can't even stand on our feet. Going Here visit us                                                                                 There are classics like "Lean On Me" by Bill Withers, released on his album, Still Bill, circa 1972. All of us can relate to the lyrics. Sometimes in our lives we all have pain We all have sorrow But if we are wise We know that there's always tomorrow Lean on me, when you're not strong And I'll be your friend I'll help you carry on For it won't be long 'Til I'm gonna need Somebody to lean on Please swallow your pride If I have things you need to borrow For no one can fill those of your needs That you won't let show You just call on me brother, when you need a hand We all need somebody to lean on I just might have a problem that you'll understand We all need somebody to lean on Lean on me, when you're not strong And I'll be your friend I'll help you carry on For it won't be long 'Til I'm gonna need Somebody to lean on You just call on me brother, when you need a hand We all need somebody to lean on I just might have a problem that you'll understand We all need somebody to lean on If there is a load you have to bear That you can't carry

Inspiration comes from many sources, in many ways, and at any time. This past Sunday morning I was driving around running a few errands and listening to the radio when inspiration struck. I was just wondering what story I wanted to share on my podcast this week as I was pulling into a local supermarket. I was listening to the radio DJ talking about the artist he was about to play for his next selection. He mentioned how this person had not produced an album or a song in a very long time. For whatever reason this caught my attention long enough to stop thinking about how I would decide on what story I would offer as a podcast. It was at that moment inspiration sprung into action. The DJ introduced the song writer as Bill and after all these years he was "Still Bill." Right there and then I was inspired for my next podcast. This podcast is a story about a homeless man I talked with often when I was in college at the University of Washington in Seattle. He was known as "Still Bill." Thanks for listening! I invite you to share this podcast, offer a comment, or leave some feedback. Show Notes: Inspiration can strike at any time, anywhere, and in any way. We just need to be listening.

Gold Net's Kevin Keise speaks with Drew League Legend Bill "Still Bill" Crawford about the Lakers selecting Lonzo Ball with the number 2 overall pick in the 2017 NBA Draft. There's new hope in L.A and he's a baller, literally. Los Angeles newest Laker Lonzo Ball had brung excitement back to Laker basketball and fans are excited for this up and coming season. Drew League legend Still Bill Crawford, who's been around basketball for 44+ years said, Lonzo was the best Laker pick since selected Magic Johnson. "Lonzo is the best pick the Laker's have had since 1979 when the picked Magic," said Still Bill. He continued,"Lonzo will be one of the best floor generals for the next 10 years." Crawford believes Lonzo's game can translate to the NBA immediately. While at UCLA, the 6' 6" 190 pound point guard averaged 14.6 points, a Division I-leading 7.6 assists, 6.0 rebounds and 1.8 steals last season with the Bruins. As a freshman, he led UCLA to a 31-5 record after it went 15-17 the season before. His 274 assists marked the third-most by a freshman in Division I history. He was the first Pac-12 player to average at least 14 points, seven assists and six rebounds in a single season since Jason Kidd. "He'll bring a lot of court awareness, great ball decision, he'll spread the floor around and the Lakers will be glad to play with him," said Crawford. The pressure is on Ball, not only by his dad, but there are high expectations for the kid. His father believes he can take the Lakers back to the playoffs and Still Bill believes he can impact the team right away.
