This song means so much to me I've always wanted to record it. It's my generation's 'My Way' - a statement of resilience for the human spirit. I'm no singer but I sing on this one exactly because it is so personal to me on the soundtrack to my life!
The Late Lowell George, who wrote Willin', was playing with Frank Zappa when he wrote it. Legend has it that he took the song to Frank for his band to play. Frank's told Lowell that Willin' was such a great song he should form his own band.
He did and Little Feat was born
