Very sad. :\'( :\'(
He had a great musical style. "Aint No Sunshine" and "Use Me" were other big hits that he had.

“Use Me” was about as funky as you could get in the 70s. 8)

RIP. Timeless voice. My favorites were "Lovely Day" and "Just The Two Of Us" with Grover Washington Jr.

"Ain't No Sunshine" was all over the radio in the summer of 1971. Stephen Stills played guitar on it.

My parents were big fans of 60s/70s music (since that's when they grew up), and many of the songs from then were from Bill Withers. He certainly had a lot of their favorites. A legend that will never be forgotten, RIP :\'(.

First time I heard Lovely Day was the version by the CCM group Out Of Eden. They did a good job covering it.
