Chance the Rapper, Lin-Manuel Miranda & more are remembering the life and legacy of Bill Withers
in the wake of his death. The musician died on Monday due to heart complications at the age of 81.
"The day my kids were born and they were handed to me, I sang ‘Lovely Day’ to them," Toni Braxton recalls to us."That was our song. We used to sing it around the house when they were little. And when they hear it now, they always say our mom used to sing that to us. That’s one of my favorite songs. Bill will be missed."
Singer-songwriter Charlie Wilson has the musician's family in his thoughts."I’m sending prayers to the Withers family. Bill was a friend, a great writer and a visionary. We loved each other’s voices and I wish we could have finally sat ‘knee to knee’ like you said and had worked on a song together," he shares with Billboard."RIP my friend; your music will continue to inspire us.
