Bill Withers

On entering the US Navy in 1956.
Rollingstone interview (2015)

“What few songs I wrote during my brief career, there ain’t a genre that somebody didn’t record them in. I’m not a virtuoso, but I was able to write songs that people could identify with. I don’t think I’ve done bad for a guy from Slab Fork, West Virginia.”

Rollingstone interview (2015)

“I grew up in the age of Barbra Streisand, Aretha Franklin, Nancy Wilson … It was a time where a fat, ugly broad that could sing had value. Now everything is about image. It’s not poetry. This just isn’t my time.”

"Ain't No Sunshine", on Just as I Am (1971)

And she's always gone too long
Anytime she's goes away”
