Watch Low Cut Connie’s Adam Weiner honor Bill Withers with “Lean on Me” and “Ain’t No Sunshine”
Weiner, accompanying himself on guitar, exhorted viewers to join him in singing along to “Ain’t No Sunshine.” When he arrived at the 1971 song’s signature “I know, I know” refrain, he reached peak soulfulness, scatting and improvising as his voice reached its upper register. For “Lean on Me,” Withers’ inspiring anthem for any crisis, Weiner sat at his piano and offered history lessons on Withers’ career — how he began his career late in life and how he composed the simple melody of “Lean on Me.
Since Withers’ death, artists have been paying musical tribute with versions of his songs. Most recently, Sheryl Crow and Citizen Copeperformances this Thursday and Saturday at 6 pm ET via Facebook and Instagram.
