The Associated Press reports that the legendary singer passed away on Monday, March 30, in Los Angeles.
“We are devastated by the loss of our beloved, devoted husband and father. A solitary man with a heart driven to connect to the world at large, with his poetry and music, he spoke honestly to people and connected them to each other,” Withers’ family said in a statement. “As private a life as he lived close to intimate family and friends, his music forever belongs to the world. In this difficult time, we pray his music offers comfort and entertainment as fans hold tight to loved ones.”

This man, Bill Withers, legendary for his disdain for the business side of the music industry, sure put out some songs in the 1970s that still Rock the World today!
Condolences to all who loved him.
