What a Number! Every Great Song with Numbers in the Title

Just the Two of Us by Will Smith

Will Smith, known more for his acting acumen than his rapping, wrote Just the Two of Us, after being inspired by the eponymous song recorded by Grover Washington and Bill Withers. Grover Washington was a valued Jazz saxophone player who died of a heart attack in 1999. Bill Withers is a songwriter and vocalist responsible for songs like “Lean On Me” and “Ain’t No Sunshine.” Withers sang lead on this, but it was credited to Washington and appeared on his album.

The song was the fourth track on Will’s debut album Big Wille Style, which was released in 1997. The song talks about the relationship between a father and his son. This version was the basis for the “Dr. Evil Mix” in the movie Austin Powers 2, where Dr. Evil sings it to Mini Me.
