Song of the Week - Bill Withers

Bill Withers - Ain't No Sunshine
Album: Just As I Am



You know a song is great when Rolling Stone ranks it at #110 in the top 500 albums of all-time. What's even more amazing is that Withers wrote this song while making toilet seats for airplanes at the age of 31. More recently (and on a less grand scale), this 1971 hit has lit up the extended Hutchins Twitterverse after a recent mass email shoutout. "Ain't No Sunshine" won Withers a Grammy for Best R&B Song of the Year, his first of three during a legendary career.

And for the record, he repeats "I know" 26 times in a row.
