20 words to describe Bill Withers - soulful, wise, funky, smart, loving, proud, humble, honest (brutally honest), inspirational, profound, funny, generous, poetic, kind, loyal, thoughtful, perfectionist, independent, articulate and compassionate.
Even if you're not familiar with his amazing music, the 2009 "Still Bill" documentary on Withers' life, songs, family, friends, struggles and achievements is worth seeking out. He is a superhuman super human and the author of "Lean On Me," one of my all-time favourite songs.. I even like Club Nouveau's version.
