Description

Bill Wither’s Just As I Am remains one of the best soul debuts ever issued. Of course, the instantly recognisable anthem “Ain’t No Sunshine” gets all of the acclaim, but also in tracks like “Harlem”, “Grandma’s Hands” and “Better Off Dead” you can hear the intensity and maturity of Bill’s performances. Even when he’s doing covers, Withers makes them sound as if they are his own compositions.
