Lean on Me: The Best Of, by Bill Withers, the compromising, enterprising, and actually IS also a tranquilizing singer/songwriter who mixes blues, R&B, folk, smooth jazz, and even a little funk into a gumbo to be heard by all, is now available in MP3 format from Amazon this month for only $5.

Bill Withers remains one of the most successful artists of the 1970s. He’s responsible for some of the great R&B pop songs of our or any age: the number one smash urban gospel assurances of “Lean on Me,” the funky and musically submissive “Use Me,” the sing-a-long “Grandma’s Hands,” the evocative and stripped down dawn breaking through morning dew on a trampled on heart musical musings of “Ain’t No Sunshine,” the uplifting and impossibly sustained vocal notes on “Lovely Day,” the memorable greeting card brought up to the highest level ballad “Just The Two Of Us,” and finally, the funky, get loose, get your groove on “˜fore you lose it “Who Is He And What Is He To You” and all the rest, this greatest hits collection and then some is essential for Billphiles, Billnovices, Billoholics, and Billjunkies. Upon a few times listening to this collection, you’ll become at least one of those, guaranteed.
