Frankly I found Lean on Me to be quite tedious back in the day when it was in hot rotation.
But he was a very talented man. RIP.

Yep, that was actually Grover Washington, Jr. with Bill providing the guest vocals.

Reminds me that those who can, sing. Those who can’t, rap.

I remember back in the early 90’s, there was a story that MC Hammer was talking the some rap guys, like 2 live Crew or other, and told them he was think about including some rap in his next album and show.
They said, “Why?...The only reason we ‘rap is because we can’t sing!”.....................

My daughter can stand it when I sing that. In her defense, I do tend to get stuck in the “I know” loop until she screams.
To: Red Badger
Wonderful songwriter and performer. RIP Bill.
