Lean On Me singer Bill Withers has died

Bill Withers, the acclaimed 1970s soul singer behind hits Ain't No Sunshine and Lean On Me has died from heart complications aged 81, his family said.

"The singer died on Monday in Los Angeles, the family told the Associated Press.

They described him in a statement as a "solitary man with a heart driven to connect to the world".

"He spoke honestly to people and connected them to each other," the statement said."

RIP Bill Withers

Many I am sure will always remember his music, especially these:

I always loved that song along with 'Lovely Day'. Not many can hold that note.

RIP Bill Withers.
