Music Monday-Ain't No Sunshine

This is the kind of music I listened to when I was a kid. Solid rhythm and blues from Bill Withers and "Ain't No Sunshine." Dude has an unbelievably soulful voice.



I don't usually go for covers, especially when the original was pretty close to perfect, but Sting does a pretty good job on this one. He is accompanied by David Sanborn on the saxophone. Though I gotta say the stache Sting is sporting looks pretty cheesy.

    Good music. Sting looks like a porn star with the stache.

    Sting clip looks old. Bad stache and sad the only good songs he sings now are from other people.

    As much as I like Sting, I like the Bill Withers version better. Great choice by you for today.

    I like the Bill Withers version much better, and I agree with the others, Sting looks like he is in disguise.

    Happy Music Monday!
    Take Care,
