Ain't no sunshine now he's gone

damn

That was a pretty quick sticky

Live at Carnegie Hall [Columbia/Legacy, 1997]
Beyond "Use Me," "Lean on Me," and "Ain't No Sunshine," does anyone remember this guy existed? What a shame. Far more than best-ofs obliged to respect the career he maintained after this hypercharged 1972 night, his legacy is right here, a moment of lost possibility. Withers sang for a black nouveau middle class that didn't yet understand how precarious its status was. Warm, raunchy, secular, common, he never strove for Ashford & Simpson-style sophistication, which hardly rendered him immune to the temptations of sudden wealth--cross-class attraction is what gives "Use Me" its kick. He didn't accept that there had to be winners and losers, that fellowship was a luxury the newly successful couldn't afford. Soon sudden wealth took its toll on him while economic clampdown took its toll on his social context. But here he's turned on to be singing to his people--black folks who can afford Carnegie Hall. A

He's right. Everyone on the planet has heard Lean on Me but most of you have no idea who was the guy that sang it.

DUDE WHY DIDN'T LIL BRAPPIE 69 GET A STICKY UHHHH MODS ARE FAGS

Genesis and Penderecki are way more relevant to board culture and tastes. They are posted about constantly. I rarely see Withers or especially Kenny fucking Rogers ever mentioned

holy shit, seriously rip
soul GOAT

also, Lovely Day is his best song
and Just As I Am is his best album

if David Berman got a sticky I would agree with you.

FUCK
this sucks

if anything, maybe now Yas Forums will give Just As I Am the rest it deserves. seriously one of the most underappreciated soul albums ever.

the mod who is tasked with overseeing Yas Forums is clearly a pleb taste faggot who has no clue about Yas Forums board culture, who the fuck cares about this dead literal who

*the respect it deserves

>was just listening to that song yesterday
shit

I bet the mods will unsticky it if you keep crying.
