Michael Jackson took on "Ain't No Sunshine" for Got to Be There in 1972, hard on the heels of the original. Bill Withers wrote the song alone, words and music, and cut it for his 1971 debut, Just As I Am, where it became the hit that broke him and one of the songs he is best known for. Jackson's version comes from another camp entirely: The Corporation produced it and arranged it together with Eddy Manson, and Jackson takes the lead vocal.
