Format:Audio CD
Bill Withers has written some of popular music genres best songs and still today you hear the influence on rhythm and blues and many other genres of music via his most memorable songs
Ain't no Sunshine, Lean on Me, Use Me, Harlem, Grandmas Hands, Who is he and who is he to you? and many more but not many people regard or know the majority of his own catalog as much as the songs or even many know about its high level of musicianship in the 70's compared to other soul/R&B legends.
In some respects people know him for the much now parodied Just the Two Of Us and the infectious Lovely Day, but Bill Withers work and albums all have a strong thematic, personal, honest and great experience of life running through the veins of each album with its unique feel with strengths and weaknesses just like life's tapestry itself.
The Sussex albums prior to Makign Music are probably his most successful to date having the major hits on the first two and some of the best work in music of simple and effective 3 mins songs (at the most) songs to give you a range of emotions and insights.
Just As I Am
1. Harlem
2. Ain't No Sunshine * Probably one of the most covered songs of all time.
3. Grandma's Hands
4. Sweet Wanomi
5. Everybody's Talkin'
6. Do It Good
7. Hope She'll Be Happier
8. Let It Be
9. I'M Her Daddy
10. In My Heart
11. Moanin' and Groanin'
12. Better Off Dead
Still Bill
1. Lonely Town, Lonely Street
2. Let Me In Your Life
3. Who is He (And What is He To You?)
4. Use Me
5. Lean On Me
6. Kissing My Love
7. I Don't Know

Outstanding idea; why not put together all Bill's albums and make them available at a reasonable price? What? All 9? You bet! you forget just how good this man's body of work is. Fantastic
