"'Ain't No Sunshine'" is a song by Bill Withers from his 1971 album Just As I Am. The song was released as a single in September 1971 and became a breakthrough hit for Withers, reaching number six on the U.S. R&B chart and number three on the U.S. Pop chart. Withers was still working at a factory that made toilet seats for 747s when he recorded the song. He originally intended to write more lyrics for the part of the song where he repeats the phrase "I know" twenty-six times, but the other musicians told him to leave it. "I was this factory worker puttering around", Withers said. "So when they said to leave it like that, I left it." "Ain't No Sunshine" is ranked 280th on Rolling Stone's list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. "Ain't no sunshine" is one of the few songs that is still a major hit on UK radio stations

An acoustic and non-acoustic mix of one of the greatest songs of all-time, including harmonica and guitar solos and the use of piano, ukulele, and A Cappella styles. A true blues hit by a legend. Cover after cover have only further cemented it in our minds, in our hearts, and in the history of our world.

This video includes YouTube artists as well as a random cameo from Sting and from Bill Withers himself. I hope you enjoy. Ain't no sunshine when she's gone.....

Other Bill Withers' hits include Lean on Me (remade by Club Nouveau), A Lovely Day (redone by many), Use Me, Just the Two of Us (remixed by Will Smith), Grandma's Hands (the beat for 'No Diggity'), as well as others...
