Bill Withers was a modest, gentle, and yet towering musical figure responsible for some of the most important, universally known soul hits ever written.

It’s no wonder that “Just the Two of Us” and “Ain’t No Sunshine” won him two Grammy awards and undoubtedly played a huge role in getting him

inducted into both the Songwriters and Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Still Bill is Withers’ third studio album and continues to showcase his remarkable versatility, touching upon smooth Philly soul, funk, blues and 70s

folk slash singer/songwriter. Upon release the record was both a commercial and critical success and is considered a landmark 1970s R&B record.

It features the hit singles “Lean on Me” and “Use Me”, as well as “Who Is He (And What Is He to You)?” appearing on the soundtrack of

Quentin Tarantino’s Jackie Brown. Unsurprisingly, next to Just As I Am, this record also made it into Rolling Stone’s list of 500 Greatest Albums of All Time, coming in at #333.

This edition includes booklet featuring a reflective essay on Bill Withers written by Grammy-nominated poet, journalist and humanitarian Kevin Powell.

Still Bill is available as a limited edition of 7500 individually numbered copies on translucent green coloured vinyl.
