Oh man that's really sad... Ain't No Sunshine is an absolute masterpiece. He will be missed.

Very sad to hear this news. His songs have stood the test of time and will continue to do so.

RIP. His songs were usually simple arrangements that really let his voice shine. The emotion always came through clearly.

I wonder how many of the current generation have even heard of him?

My little ones know all the music I like. Including Mr. Withers.
Sad to see great artists go, but that's what Time does.
