Heart attack.
Heart breaking.
“…I’m not a virtuoso, but I was able to write songs that people could identify with. I don’t think I’ve done bad for a guy from Slab Fork, West Virginia.”
Heart attacks aren’t too surprising in a dude in his eighties. Still, I shed a tear for him.
Had not realized that Stephen Stills played session guitar on Bill’s second album (1970, when CS&N were already HUGE.) Wonder what that was about.
The Red Rocker does a surprisingly nice cover.
Bill Withers was amazing and had the ability to stay musically relevant to new generations of fans, may he RIP.
