Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.

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.
