William Clyde "Bill" Elliott (born October 8, 1955), also known as Awesome Bill from Dawsonville or Million Dollar Bill, is a part-time driver and former champion of the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series. Elliott was inducted into the Motorsports Hall of Fame of America on August 15, 2007. He won the 1988 NASCAR Winston Cup Series Championship and has garnered 44 wins in that series. He had two Daytona 500 victories, and a record four consecutive wins at Michigan International Speedway during 1985-86. He holds the track record for fastest qualifying speed at Talladega at 212.809 mph and Daytona International Speedway at 210.364 mph Both of these were set in 1987. The mark at Talladega is the fastest speed for any NASCAR event ever.
Elliott won NASCAR's Most Popular Driver Award 16 times, a record. He withdrew his name from the ballot for that award after winning it in 2002. In 2005, Georgia Governor Sonny Perdue declared October 8 as Bill Elliott Day in the state of Georgia.[citation needed] Elliott has also been honored by the state legislature, having a stretch of road in his native Dawsonville renamed Elliott Family Parkway. Elliott was born in Dawsonville, Georgia.
Wild Bill Elliott (October 16, 1904 – November 26, 1965) was an American film actor. He specialized in playing the rugged heroes of B-Westerns, particularly in the Red Ryder series of films.
Elliott was born Gordon A. Nance in Pattonsburg, Missouri, the son of cattle broker Leroy "Roy" Whitfield Nance and his wife, the former Maude Myrtle Auldridge. (While there has been debate about the exact year of his birth, his parents' marriage license and U.S. Census records [and the ages listed for his siblings] make clear that he was born in 1904 and no other year.)
The young Nance grew up within twenty miles of his birthplace, most of his youth spent on a ranch near King City, Missouri. His father was a cattle rancher and commissioner buyer for the Kansas City stockyards. Riding and roping were part of Gordon Nance's upbringing. He won first place in a rodeo event in the 1920 American Royal livestock show. He briefly attended Rockhurst College, a Jesuit school in Kansas City, but soon left for California with hopes of becoming an actor.

William Harrison "Bill" Withers, Jr. (born July 4, 1938) is an American singer-songwriter and musician who performed and recorded from 1970 until 1985. He recorded a number of hits such as "Lean on Me", "Ain't No Sunshine", "Use Me", "Just the Two of Us", "Lovely Day", and "Grandma's Hands". His life was recently the subject of the documentary film Still Bill.
Withers was born the youngest of six children in the small coal-mining town of Slab Fork, West Virginia. Raised in nearby Beckley, West Virginia, Withers was twelve years old when his father died. He enlisted with the United States Navy at age eighteen and served for nine years, during which time he became interested in singing and writing songs. Soon after his discharge from the Navy in 1965, he relocated to Los Angeles in 1967 for a musical career.
Withers worked as an assembler for several different companies, including Douglas Aircraft Corporation, while recording demo tapes with his own money, shopping them around and performing in clubs at night. When he debuted with the song "Ain't No Sunshine" he refused to resign his job because of his belief that the music business was a fickle industry and that he was still a novice compared to other acts.
All I wanna do
Is play all night for you
If the system blows the fuse
It ain't gonna make the national news
My old man says where you
Gonna go you can't go far
Said I'm going downtown to
See some rock and roll
Can I borrow your friends car
I listen to the radio
What good from the show
One night in town
I wanna be around
To hear the band say
All I wanna do
Is rock and roll with you
If the system blows the fuse
It ain't gonna make the national news
Then she took off her shoes
And she said to the stars
It gotta be the dress
But the sullen little thing
With the big idea and the backstage pass
There's nothing she won't do
To have her way with you
It's gotta be tonight
Cause tomorrow I'm gone
So you hear what I say
All I wanna do
Is play all night for you
All I wanna do
Is play all night for you
This can't by your fate
Let you asphyxiate
Below here I've lost myself
Without you there is no one else
(Pre chorus)
This is all that I have
Never wanted to be unstable
(Chorus)
For this you can take back all the things you have said in your life
Until you're fine
(Verse)
Everyone seems so fake
Is this too much to take?
Alive and feeling more
Than I ever have felt before
(Pre chorus)
This is all that I have
We share our disease with love
(Chorus)
For this you can take back all the things you have said in your life
Until you're fine
(Bridge)
The feeling of this pail light feels nice
The meaning of words just don't seem right
Turn down and deny advice
Can you feel the love that's blinding my eyes?
Spin around I feel it burning
Inside out I know it's turning
Can you help me to appreciate?
Can you feel the love that's blinding my way?
(Chorus)
For this you can take back all the things you have said in your life
