Soul-R&B singer-composer Bill Withers created some of the most memorable and best received songs of the 1970s—hits like “Lean on Me” and “Ain’t No Sunshine”—that took on a life of their own and continue to resonate with listeners around the world. Wither’s relaxed, almost casual simplicity deliver a compelling mixture of emotion and authenticity that no one else can match and what he achieved in the 8 short years his professional career ran was nothing less than stunning. Catapulted overnight from life as a factory worker to international stardom after “Ain’t No Sunshine” stormed into the Top Ten. Retiring in 1981 as suddenly as he had appeared, Withers’ easy command of soul-deep truth and flawless song craft qualify him as one of the giants of American pop music.
