Bill Withers was a soulful singer and songwriter, born on July 4, 1938 in Slab Fork, West Virginia. Despite starting his musical career later in life, he made a significant impact with his debut album "Just As I Am" released in 1971 at the age of 33. Prior to pursuing music full-time, Withers worked as a mechanic for the Lockheed Aircraft Corporation. His talent and passion for music led him to create timeless hits that resonate with audiences even today.
Withers sadly passed away on March 30, 2020 in Los Angeles, CA. His legacy lives on through his heartfelt lyrics and soulful voice that continue to inspire generations of musicians and fans alike.
He is also known as the father of Kori Withers.

timely 180 gm vinyl reissue of the legendary soul folkie. it's rich, subtly layered music, but its best attribute is that it comes on easy, never sounding labored or overworked. in fact, it takes several spins of the album to realize just how versatile withers is on 'still bill', to hear how he makes intricate, funky rhythms sound as effortless and simple as the album's best-known song, the gospel-tinged inspirational anthem 'lean on me'. that's the genius behind withers' music: it's warm and easily accessible, but it has a depth and complexity that reveals itself over numerous plays. then there's the quality of the songwriting, which is as assured on the grooving 'lonely town, lonely street' as it is on the suspicious, paranoid 'who is he (and what is he to you)?' or 'use me', where he happily submits to being used by his object of affection.
