Music Deaths: Bill Withers: "Lean On Me"
BILL WITHERS. 81
Died March 30, 2020
Soul singer/songwriter. best known for "Lean on Me" (#1-1972). Born in 1938 in Slab Fork, West Virginia.
Had two other big hits with "Ain't No Sunshine" (#3-1971) and "Use Me" (#2-1972) Also, one of my favorites "Lovely Day" (#30-1978). Always peps me up. Used to hear it a lot on Herb Kent (The Kool Gent's) show.
Like one of his commentators on You Tube said: "When we get out of quarantine it's gonna be a Lovely Day." If you have not heard the song, give it a listen.
I'm listening to songs by him on You Tube right now. Wow.
