Lean on Me-Best of Bill Withers
Not to be mistaken with Bill Withers's Greatest Hits or even the 1994 best-of with which it shares its name, Lean on Me nevertheless shares much with those two earlier retrospectives--notably the likes of such '70s soul-pop gems as the title track, "Ain't No Sunshine," "Lovely Day," and "Use Me." Like the earlier Lean on Me, this remastered selection includes 18 tracks, 13 of which overlap with the '94 set. Withers's oeuvre is something less than expansive: he recorded 10 albums for Sussex and Columbia between 1971 and 1985, then gracefully exited the business with three top 10 hits to his credit. The singer's warm vocals and wise lyrics have held up splendidly through the years, making him a likely candidate for periodic rediscovery. This anthology stands as the title of choice for the next wave of soul fans Withers wins over. --Steven Stolder more

Not bad at all -- a great collection of Bill Withers. Most of the songs are very chill and soulful but one or two sound like something from an 80's romantic comedy (great if you're feeling nostalgic, otherwise, not so good).

- Finally! This one has "Harlem"!!!
The 2000 Sony compilation "The Best of Bill Withers: Lean On Me" is by far the best compilation to come down the pike (so far), after two other tries which weren't definitive enough, despite one from 1994 (the similarly titled "Lean On...

I bought the album for the song "Lovely Day" and although its a good song I was a little bummed out about the rest of the album. The more that I listened to it I began to appriciate it a little more. But I would listen before you buy. I...

The album seemed a little dull, still bill, but not as good as I remember him.
