Rene Asologuita Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 "Grandma's Hands" is a song written by Bill Withers about his grandmother. It was included on his first album Just as I Am (1971), and was released as a single. Withers' maternal grandfather, Gracchus Monroe Galloway (1855–1937), had been born into slavery. In his youth, Withers attended church with his maternal grandmother, Lula (1868–1953), where she would sing and clap along with the hymns. He later said: "It was spontaneous singing, there was nothing programmed. People got up and sang and everybody would join in. It was my favorite kind of singing. Dedicated to all grandmothers, and for all of us who remember our "Lola". We love you and always honor your name and remembrance! https://youtu.be/OwNyikokmfo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
