Low Cut Connie<\/a>\u2019s Adam Weiner has been reaching through computer screens and cellphones with his enthusiastic Live From South Philly<\/em> livestream performances<\/a> since the quarantine began. This weekend, Weiner paid tribute to the vocalist and songwriter Bill Withers<\/a> with a pair of the late soul singer<\/a>\u2018s most enduring compositions, \u201cAin\u2019t No Sunshine\u201d and \u201cLean on Me.\u201d<\/p>\n

Weiner, accompanying himself on guitar, exhorted viewers to join him in singing along to \u201cAin\u2019t No Sunshine.\u201d When he arrived at the 1971 song\u2019s signature \u201cI know, I know\u201d refrain, he reached peak soulfulness, scatting and improvising as his voice reached its upper register. For \u201cLean on Me,\u201d Withers\u2019 inspiring anthem for any crisis, Weiner sat at his piano and offered history lessons on Withers\u2019 career \u2014 how he began his career late in life and how he composed the simple melody of \u201cLean on Me.\u201d \u201cA three-year-old could do that,\u201d Weiner said, demonstrating on piano. \u201cBut that\u2019s why it\u2019s so perfect. We all know this song, we all love it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Since Withers\u2019 death, artists have been paying musical tribute with versions of his songs. Most recently, Sheryl Crow and Citizen Cope covered \u201cLonely Town, Lonely Street.\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n

Low Cut Connie continues their Live From South Philly<\/em> performances this Thursday and Saturday at 6 pm ET via Facebook and Instagram.<\/p>\n
