You know a Bill Withers song when you hear it. Songs like “Ain’t No Sunshine,” “Lean on Me,” “Lovely Day” and “Grandma’s Hands” share a sense of laid-back, effortless groove. Their lyrics document simple truths, straight-forward and profound. Bill’s songs are for everyone, but they sound like they could come from no other songwriter. While he’s achieved commercial success and earned the industry’s highest honors, Bill Withers has never once sacrificed his creative ideals - one of the many reasons he is an inspiration to songwriters and fans the world over. Just two weeks after his induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Bill Withers will dispense wisdom about the importance of staying authentic to yourself, in music and in life. This candid interview will be a full-circle moment for interviewer Aloe Blacc, who attended the 2010 ASCAP EXPO specifically to hear Bill speak.
