Editorial Review:
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

Note the rearrangement of the title; it is important. Even though these two CDs share 13 tracks, the newer one trumps the older one because of the inclusion of ... Read More
Rating: - Fantastic collection of hits
So many great songs on one album that it should have cost a hell of a lot more.
Rating: - GREAT GREAT MUSIC
I THINK AFTER ALL THESE YEARS THAT MY MAN BILL WITHERS IS STARTING TO GET HIS JUST DUES. Bill has been one of the best song writers/singers of the modern times. His Lonely day,Grandma hands,Ain't no sunshine,Who is he and what is he to you to name a few is art at its best, art that can never be duplicated. Bill is to me what Elvis was to you.I can't began to tell you when I was sad and just put on one of his recordings and instantly I began to feel better. I constantly look for him to record another ... Read More

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