    RIP Bill.

    Lean on Me remains one of my all time favourite tunes.

    Watched a great BBC4 documentary on his career a few years back.
    Hopefully they will air it again soon.

    How do you turn a duck into a soul singer? Put it in the microwave until it's bill withers.


    RIP Bill.
