Bill Withers, the superb soul singer behind the hits, Ain't No Sunshine and Lean On Me has died from heart complications aged 81. Thanks Bill for all the wonderful music that will live on and give pleasure to many of us. ...
. . . of all time. Withers was the rare entertainer who hung up his holster early and never looked back. No 'return' tours, no 'final' tours . . . he just ended his career, and early at that. What a loss . . .
you don't find that so easily in our world. His song Grandma's Hands got me through a very dark time in my life and for which I am eternally grateful to him. S
Interestingly Bill was signed to Sussex Records and because they didn’t pay him he erased an entire album that he had recorded for the label to make his point. I would love to hear that album !
. . . that serious fans know of, but few have. Not to be cute about it, but the title's as controversial as the lyrics. Look up 'last Stones song cut for ABKCO' and you may find it on the internet. ;-)
