He has died aged 81. He wrote and sang some wonderful songs - "Lovely Day" and "Just the Two of Us" hold special meaning for me, but he also wrote so many others like "Lean on Me" and "Ain't No Sunshine".
RIP |

Soul Music this morning on Radio 4 features this song from Bill.
Taking part:
Andy Greene, a senior writer at Rolling Stone magazine, tells the remarkable life-story of Bill Withers.
Composer, Neil Brand, explains how the simplicity of this track is what enables it to pack such a strong emotional punch.
