Rolling Stone: Bill Withers, Hall of Fame Soul Singer, Dead at 81
Grammy-winning mellifluous vocalist behind “Lean on Me,” “Lovely Day” and “Ain’t No Sunshine” succumbs to heart complications
Upon hearing this news, Senator Cory Booker remarked, “Ain’t No Sunshine… today. I am so sad at Bill Withers’ passing. In this time of death and pain, I hold onto him. He was a true great soul singer. Most of my campaign events we played Lovely Day. He gave us lifetimes of light and that flame will never be extinguished.
Stunningly beautiful.
Especially today.
“We all need somebody to lean on.”
