One of the Great ones. Will be spinning "Still Bill" this evening.

RIP Bill

Oh man that guy delivered some very popular classics to cement his legacy.
"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.
