(CNN) Bill Withers hit it big a little later than your average pop star. Withers was well into his 30s in 1971 when he debuted with the spare blues ballad "Ain't No Sunshine." It was initially released as a B-side, and Withers credited radio DJs with flipping over his first single to give him a surprise hit. 'Sunshine' brought his first Grammy for Best R&B Song, and he was also nominated for Best New Artist. Here are some of his best tunes as a writer and performer.
