Bill Withers, 81, great singer. "Lovely Day" is my fav. "Ain't No Sunshine" - a real tear jerker. Brings tears to the eyes, he sings with so much passion.

I have the CD version of Just As I Am, 1971, with "Ain't No Sunshine" and "Grandma's Hands", along with a version of McCartney and Lennon's "Let It Be".

A great album to play when I open up the windows in my house and start my weekly chores on Sunday morning after church.

Makes me sad. Fantastic voice and he retired far too early.

I didn't know about this singer until now - like his music.

Apparently he had a stutter (when he spoke) which was a factor in him retiring early. (I never knew that).

As an aside, hope you will be contributing again to the writing competition this year?

May he rest in peace!!! I also enjoyed "Lean on me", "Ain't no Sunshine" was probably my favourite one.

Although I don't know her, always sad to hear someone so young passing!

Honor Blackman, the first femal star of the Avengers has died aged 94.

I was fascinated with the series when being young, but coudn't get the taste back when watching a rerun a few years back.
