Title: Good Music Soothes The Soul
Review: This is quite a large amount of music for the money. Sound is clear. Several disc players and it runs smoothly in each one.

Title: I had forgotten that he had written so many wonderful songs. Since receiving this particular CD
Review: I only thought about Bill Withers when I saw him being inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame recently. I had forgotten that he had written so many wonderful songs. Since receiving this particular CD, I have listened to it many times, and it truly brings me joy. Mr. Withers is a great singer, songwriter, and, if you caught his segment of the induction ceremony, pretty darn smart. So glad I bought this.

Title: Great Music Collection
Review: I purchased this CD because it contained a few songs the other Greatest Hits CDs were missing. The overall quality of the 2 CD set is good. The only issue I have is the tracks on the discs do not match the liner notes. They are also listed incorrectly by my media players. It's not a huge deal, but definitely an inconvenience.

Review: Ascolto musica da quasi 50 anni. Non conoscevo l'artista e questa raccolta è un ottimo catalogo per approcciarsi a Withers. Come per tutti gli acquisti di CD effettuati finora, consegna ineccepibile e nei tempi promessi.

Review: Bill Withers était un très grand auteur-compositeur-interprète, on le constate à travers cette compilation. C'est un excellent moyen de retrouver ses tubes (Ain't no sunshine, Lean on me , Lovely Day entre autres sont aujourd'hui des classiques) et de découvrir des morceaux moins connus mais magnifiques (Hope she'll be hapier par exemple). Il faut écouter ses textes, merveilleusement écrits, avec beaucoup de finesse: I can't write left handed démontre tout le talent de cet artiste. Le 2e CD s'achève par plusieurs titres enregistrés en concert au Carnegie Hall en 1972 et si vous ne connaissez pas cet album live, écoutez-le, c'est une merveille de soul et de groove! Maintenant qu'il nous a quitté, il n'est jamais trop tard pour (re)découvrir un artiste de ce calibre. Pour ceux et celles qui voudraient aller plus loin, il existe un coffret 9 CD, The complete Sussex and Columbia albums, absolument fabuleux (pour une quarantaine d'Euros, faites-vous ce cadeau, vous ne le regretterez pas).

Review: Als Fan von einigen Alben von Steve Wonder, Marvin Gaye und Curtis Mayfield, die als die GroÃen der schwarzen Musikgelten, muà ich hier eine Lanze auch für Bill Withers brechen.Die Klangfarbe seiner Stimme erinnert an die Lou Rawls, jedoch war Lou Rawls eher der smoothen Abteilung zuzuordnen.Bill Withers dagegen hat eine straighte Art zu singen ohne groÃe Phrasierungskunst und da liegt meiner Meinung nach dasgroÃe Können und die ihm so eigene Form zu interpretieren.Dadurch hat er etwas von einem groÃen Geschichtenerzähler und hat damit in der schwarzen Musik einen ihm eigenen Stilgeschaffen, der unverwechselbar war.Seine Art zu singen hatte nicht die gleiche Wärme, die z. B. das Album von Marvin Gaye Whats Going On vermittelt, son-dern vermittelte mit der gleichen Eindringlichkeit etwas Forderndes.Für mich gehört er jedenfalls auch zu den GroÃen und Songs wie Lovely Day, Just A Two Of Us, Use Me, Harlem, I Want To Spent The Night, Ain't No Sunshine werden immer zu meinen Klassikern in der schwarzen Musik zählen.

Review: You see, I like Rock, the heavier the better, Slayer, Danzig, Groundhogs,and so on, but secretly I've always liked Bill Withers. This man has a voice to charm to birds out of the trees and this album is a corker! Nearly everyone a gem, even the fillers sound good. If you don't buy this CD at these incredibly low prices you are missing a treat. But please don't tell anyone I told you!!!!
