Some insight care of Songfacts:

Skip Scarborough was a songwriter and producer who worked with Earth, Wind & Fire, Patti Labelle, LTD, and many other R&B stars before his death in 2003.

Skip wrote the music for this song, and was also the inspiration for the lyrics Withers came up with. In a Songfacts interview with Bill Withers, he explained: "Skip was a very nice, gentle man.

The way Skip was, every day was just a lovely day. He was an optimist. If I had sat down with the same music and my collaborator had been somebody else with a different personality, it probably would have caused something else to cross my mind lyrically. It was a combination of the music and the person and the ambiance in the room."

Withers told Songfacts: "We're all sponges in a sense. You put us around very nice people, and the nice things come out in us. You put us around some jerks, and we practice being jerks.

We all adjust. Did you ever notice the difference in the way you speak to your grandmother or your best contemporary friend?”

Near the end of the song, going into the outro, Withers holds the note for 18 seconds. Fabulous.
