The warmth of Bill Withers' intimate, confessional songs glows decades beyond his heyday. You can hear the impact of his unique phrasing and plainspoken songwriting in Aloe Blacc's horn-laden throwback soul gem “I Need a Dollar” and D'Angelo's smoky neo-soul suite “Brown Sugar.” John Legend's piano ballad “Ordinary People” shares Withers' romantic honesty, and Anthony Hamilton's “Charlene” replicates his sweet, folksy charm.
