After his long-overdue induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame earlier this year, Bill Withers, 77, is about to get some more well-deserved props: He will be feted at Lean On Him: A Tribute to Bill Withers at New York City's famed Carnegie Hall on Oct. 1.

An all-star lineup—including D'Angelo, Ed Sheeran, Anthony Hamilton, Ledisi and Aloe Blacc—will perform Withers' 1973 album Live at Carnegie Hall in its entirety.  Although he hasn't properly performed in years, the soul legend behind hits like "Ain't No Sunshine," "Use Me" and, of course, "Lean On Me" talks about making his return to Carnegie Hall in a rare interview.
Check out Bill's 1973 Live at Carnegie Hall album.
