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

great collection.......2007-07-12

there were a couple CD's i found of withers music, but this one had the best list of his songs.

Best-kept secret in popular music.......2007-07-09

Bill Withers must be the best-kept secret in popular music in the last 50 years. You've heard virtually every song on this album -- many are absolute classics -- even if you've never heard of Bill Withers. This is a must-have addition to your music collection. Uplifting, moving rhythms with harmonious lyrics. From blues to jazz to R&B to mellow ballads -- great music, beautifully delivered.

Decent pick.......2007-03-15

I got the CD for one song, but there are several nice songs on the CD.

Review of Lean on Me-Best of Bill Withers.......2007-01-04

Wanted the classic track "Ain't no sunshine" and hoped naively for more of the same on this album but got only dated soul as honestly expected. 5 Stars are deserved just for that one track.

Composer of two bona fide classics ("Ain't No Sunshine" and "Lean on Me") as well as tunes covered by everyone from Joe Cocker to Kiss, Withers sings with smooth, subtle phrasing that moves along over sinuous, sexy grooves. At times it all sounds so effortless that it's often easy to overlook how substantial his work really is. Never flashy, Withers's best songs burn with a kind of heat that lingers long after the last note has been played. This 18-song collection brings together a healthy collection of songs from this soulful singer-songwriter's remarkable early-'70s Sussex albums, including such hits and near hits as "Grandma's Hands," "Who Is He? (And What Is He to You?)," and the seriously funky "Use Me," as well as some gems from the later '70s (including "Lovely Day"). If you're weighing Lean on Me against the 10-song Greatest Hits, opt for this, the more generous option. --Percy Keegan

Sonnet: When most I wink
If I could choose
The Primrose
A Dirge
The Devon Maid
Dawn and Evening
Where'er my bitter teardrops fall
E'en as a lovely flower
Blow, blow, thou winter wind
Go not, happy day
Night lies on the silent highways
A Dead Violet
Cradle Song
Lean close thy cheek
Fair Daffodils
Adoration
So perverse
Tears, idle tears
The Violets Blue
Come to me in my dreams
My pent-up tears oppress my brain
Music, when soft voices die
Far, far from each other
Where is it that our soul doth go?

Tracks:

All things that we clasp
Love is a rose
Dear, when I look into thine eyes
Isobel
O that it were so!
Strew no more red roses
Where she lies asleep
Love went a-riding
Thy hand in mine
So early in the morning
Mantle of Blue
The Last Invocation
When you are old and gray
Into her keeping
What shall I your true love tell?
'Tis but a week
Day after Day
Speak to me, my love!
Dweller in my deathless dreams
Goldenhair
Journey's End
