Bill Withers succumbed to heart failure this morning. He was 81. RIP my brotha.

That's sad. Great vocal style. RIP.

Am I remembering correctly (or not?) that he had been seen playing a Guild?

And he could get funky, too!

"Ain't No Sunshine" was released when I was senior in HS, 1971. "Lean On Me" was released when I was in Navy boot camp, July '72. Both very memorable songs for me. RIP Mr. Withers
