BILL WITHERS

Bill Withers - real name William Harrison Withers - was an American soul singer-songwriter born in West Virginia. Withers' songs are some of the more beloved in the American songbook: Lean On Me was performed at the inaugurations of presidents Bill Clinton and Barack Obama, while Lovely Day was a UK Top 10 single twice - first in 1978 and then in 1988 with the Sunshine Mix went Top 5. In May 2009, Ain't No Sunshine - another signature hit - reached the UK Top 40 for the first time (charting at Number 40) after an auditionee performed the track on Britain's Got Talent.

I can never understand people who buy a deceased artists records immediately following their death. Why not buy them when the artist is alive?
