Bill Withers has passed

"Lean On Me" will be around for many years (not to mention "Lovely Day" "Ain't No Sunshine" "Use Me" and "Grandma's Hands"--all direct and heartfelt lyrics). He was a great artist who overcame late bedwetting and a stutter that he kicked at the age of 30 to become a star who was never caught up in the star making machinery. I listened to him for an hour today and reflected on what he stood for and how his lyrics reflected that. Much respect.
