We have lost another true legend i just found out that he passed away.Bill Withers was more than just a singer,guitar,piano player ,Seven time Grammy award winner and he was inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame in the class of 201. He left us with many great songs that were the soundtracks to our lives with songs like Lean On Me,Grandmas Hands,Use Me,Who Is He And What is he to you which was covered by so many but in my opinion the cover version and another all time classic of that song was by Creative Source till this day that song still gets played.Bill had many other classics but when he hooked up with the late great Grover Washington Jr. on their monster hit Just The Two Of Us which they won in 1981.Bill made history at the 30th annual Grammy Awards on March 2, 1988, becoming the first songwriter to win for best R&B song three times. R.I.P Bill Withers thank you for sharing your great talents to the world.

RIP Bill Withers a true legend and inspiration. To come from a coal mining town, losing his Dad at an early age, and overcome all of that, incredible. I've traveled to Slab Fork, and seeing the town, it was cool to see how all the houses were literally right down the road, it was cool actually seeing the real life inspiration for this song and a lot of them. I myself have gone through some seriously hard times, being told I was never going to walk again and his music was an inspiration and huge smile to me, there will never be another like him, RIP Bill Withers he will very much be missed.
