The music world is still mourning the loss of legendary singer-songwriter Bill Withers, who died earlier this week. While fans revisited his classic songs like “Lean On Me” and “Ain’t No Sunshine,” there are some stories about the soul singer that fans may not know.

One memorable tale is how his label, the now-defunct Sussex Records, once bought him a golden toilet seat. While it might sound like a cruel prank, it was actually an inside joke.

Withers' career took off in 1971 when he was 32 years old, a bit old for music industry standards. Before he was a professional singer, he worked at a Los Angeles factory making aircraft toilet seats.
