Sad to hear this. His songs "Ain't No Sunshine", "Lean On Me", and "Use Me" are three of my favorites from the 1970's. Thanks for posting the info, Will. And RIP, Mr. Withers.

Lovely Day is one of my most cherished, favorite songs. Fills me with such joy and unbridled optimism each time I hear it!

Bill was proof you can be a total badass and a total class act at the same time!!!

''Lovely Day'' was one of my favorite songs

''It's going to be a Lovely Day''
When the day that lies ahead of me
Seems impossible to face
When someone else instead of me
Always seems to know the way

I preferred "Lean On Me"

Why choose? "Lovely day" and "Lean on me" are both great.

Yes, but there are also good songs that are hard to choose between.

He'll look at Bill and say: "Well Bill, this age thing, eventually will be the death of you"

.....seems like Horn/sax/etc were used a lot more in the 70s? EWF/Chicago/etc used them a lot

We should sing this song with the word "May" instead of "Day" and hope things will be a lot better then.
