The music realm continues to reel at news of R&B/Soul icon Bill Withers‘ passing.

As his songs ‘Lean On Me,’ ‘Ain’t No Sunshine,’ ‘Lovely Day,’ and more are listed on the soundtrack to many lives, it’s only fitting and expected to see a bevy of tributes lifted in his honor.

Beyond the many turning to his music for consolation (as evidenced by his greatest hits dominating streaming and digital download platforms), admirers – including some of the biggest names in Pop and R&B – are taking to social media to bid farewell.

John Legend, Alicia Keys, Kelly Rowland, Jennifer Hudson, Chaka Khan, Justin Timberlake, and Chance the Rapper are just a few of them.  See more inside:
