I just shouted no when I read the news. My partner thought something serious had happened. Time to listen to some Bill his timing/pregnant pause is always so on point

"Lovely Day" and "Ain't No Sunshine". Two brilliant classics that will make sure Bill Withers is never forgotten.

I suppose you could say he "withered away!" or is it too early?

One of my favourite jokes: how do you turn a duck into a singer? Stick it in the microwave until it's Bill withers. Bit soon?

Not a Lovely Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay then.

R.I.P Bill Withers.

As well as others mentioned he also wrote and performed Lean On Me. Such a classic and deceptively simple song.

Beautiful sentiment in the the lyrics he wrote that seem to come from the heart. Awesomely smooth, rich voice and an amazing songwriter.
