Another great one...

‘Lean On Me,’ ‘Lovely Day’ singer Bill Withers dies at 81

Bill Withers, who wrote and sang a string of soulful songs in the 1970s that have stood the test of time, including “ Lean On Me, ” “Lovely Day” and “Ain’t No Sunshine,” has died from heart complications, his family said in a statement to The Associated Press. He was 81.

The three-time Grammy Award winner, who withdrew from making music in the mid-1980s, died on Monday in Los Angeles, the statement said. His death comes as the public has drawn inspiration from his music during the coronavirus pandemic, with health care workers, choirs, artists and more posting their own renditions on “Lean on Me” to help get through the difficult times.

A great talent. I loved some of these songs when I was in elementary school, and I still love them now at 54.

Oh, wow, I did not know he wrote "Just the Two of Us" too. (Funny, I posted that after check his obituary and before I saw the post above mine.)

I love the sound, and I loved the story.
Withers just walked away from his music. He never intended to become a singer; he just thought he was a writer. One of his albums has a picture of him with his lunch bucket in his hand. He says the picture is real, taken after he got off work.....
Walked away and became successful in real estate.
