Plus, both he and his buddies performed well in this video. Hopefully, his music will be remembered and studies for years to come. Rest in peace Bill, and I hope to meet you in the afterlife.

    Drummer's name is James Gadson. He is 81 years old now in 2020! Gadson's name was mentioned in Rolling Stone's "100 greatest drummers of all time" in 2016. The legend says he is still grooving! However, the original drummer's name was "AI Jackson Jr.". He passed away in 1975. "Ain't No Sunshine" was released in 1971. God rest his soul.

      Al Jackson Jr. aka The Human Metronome was also the house drummer for Stax and the drummer for Booker T & The M.G.'s., who were the backing band for an incredible amount of music, including "Dock of the Bay" by Otis Redding. But most importantly, in the scope of Rock & Roll influence, is his work on "Born Under a Bad Sign" by Albert King, which is cited by most 60's and 70's artists as THE album that changed everything. The 4 kids from Memphis are overlooked by a lot of folks in the world of Rock, and they shouldn't be. "Green Onions" is the beginning of it all. IMO

    A long time ago I thought it was just a nice melancholic song of his lost grandma. Now I sing it to remember my one and only true love that recently died and I had to organise the proper funeral for him. If only he was still beside me, my life would still make sense, but it's truly "only darkness every day". Although I see spring waking up outside, "Ain't no sunshine, when he's gone and this house is ain't no home" indeed. The only wish I have is to join his embrace in the afterlife.

    I looked for this song for years, remembering it from when I was a child. All I knew was the word flowers and the tune from that line. I knew a make and female sang it. I listened for it for many, many years until it finally came on the radio one day. I called the radio station and asked the DJ what song it was. He said he’d played it on accident. I went down to a local shop and found the album and went to my friend’s house who had a turntable. I played it over and over and over. Thank you Phaedra.

    The deep soul in his voice, the synchronicity embedded within the rhythm of each musician…they play together like a well oiled machine. The timeless sound is simply transcendental. I hang onto every note and feel every beat.

    I’m so sad to hear of Bill Withers passing and in any interview I saw, he radiated kindness, peace and love for all. The first time I heard his song “Ain’t No Sunshine” in 1971, I was captivated by his voice and his lyrics. Bill Withers was a powerful and quiet poet of emotions with a lush, beautiful voice. May this gifted man Rest In Peace. Yes, he sang “I know” 26 times. I loved the song that much. xo

    I love this song more than any song that I have ever heard. It’s almost like he’s ripping my heart out from the sorrow in the song. Yet it seems to heal any hurt I have ever had in my life because he can reach down so deeply in understanding and I am consoled and happy.
