Though she’s been gone for 29 years now, fans continue to remember – and younger folk continue to discover – the late, great sultry songstress Phyllis Hyman, who would have turned 75 on July 6. If you’ve ever seen her, standing 6 feet ½ inches tall and usually wearing a regal cloth crown upon her head, you’re sure to have never forgotten her. And if you’ve ever heard her, you know that hers was a voice that is timeless.

West Virginia State

West Virginia native Bill Withers joined the L.A. music scene in the late 60s after a stint in the Navy. In 1970 he was signed to the Sussex music label and hit the ground running with his first album, Just As I Am, and its instantly classic acoustic ballad, "Ain't No Sunshine." Withers' understated, rootsy style was a perfect contrast to where popular music was going at the time, from pre-disco dance music to glam rock. His second release, 1972's Still Bill, became a career disc, with top hits "Use Me" and "Lean On Me," arguably one of the greatest songs of the past half century.

Happy Birthday to the late great Bill Withers

Bass players still prove their chops by playing the tunes of Cameo, Slave, Graham Central Station or any of the great bands from that era.
