Spanning his essential 1970s output, it gathers the songs that turned Withers from a factory worker into one of American music’s most quietly powerful voices.\n\nYou get the staples, of course: “Ain’t No Sunshine” with its stark, aching minimalism; “Lean on Me,” still one of the most humane songs ever written about community; and “Lovely Day,” whose unhurried groove and famously held note feel tailor-made for a high‑fidelity system. But hearing them in this carefully mastered, Mobile Fidelity pressing reveals the grain of Withers’ voice, the air around the drums, and the warmth of those unflashy but perfect arrangements.\n\nCulturally, these songs have never really left us—they’ve scored weddings, protests, and quiet nights at home for decades. Owning this edition isn’t just about nostalgia; it’s about experiencing familiar songs with a depth and intimacy that streaming can’t touch. For collectors, the numbered status and MoFi treatment make it a centerpiece; for listeners, it’s simply Bill Withers sounding as present as if he were in the room.","Audiophile Bill Withers anthology, pressed with care—soulful, warm, and timeless on numbered Mobile Fidelity vinyl.","2026-11-13 05:59:10",9239,null,false,"instock",true,1,"CRCHAH24068","500","https:\u002F\u002Fcalcuttarecords.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2026\u002F11\u002FBill-Withers-Bill-Withers-Greatest-Hits-Numbered-Limited-Edition-.jpg",[22],{"id":23,"src":20,"alt":5,"sizes":13},629586,[],[26],{"id":27,"name":28,"slug":29},1727,"Brand New Vinyls","brand-new-vinyls",[],[32,37,42,47,52,57,61],{"id":33,"name":34,"options":35},5297,"Artist",[36],"Bill Withers",{"id":38,"name":39,"options":40},10610,"Genre",[41],"Pop",{"id":43,"name":44,"options":45},10637,"Mood",[46],"Heartfelt",{"id":48,"name":49,"options":50},1796,"No Of Records",[51],"1",{"id":53,"name":54,"options":55},1339,"Record Condition",[56],"M",{"id":58,"name":59,"options":60},1338,"Sleeve Condition",[56],{"id":62,"name":63,"options":64},264,"Speed",[65],"33",[],[68],{"id":69,"name":36,"slug":70,"url":71,"bio":72,"long_bio":73,"product_count":74,"formats":75,"genres":76,"languages":77,"aliases":78,"image":79,"excerpt":72},164068,"bill-withers","https:\u002F\u002Fcalcuttarecords.com\u002Fartists\u002Fbill-withers\u002F","Bill Withers (1938–2020) was an American soul and R&B singer-songwriter celebrated for timeless songs like “Ain’t No Sunshine,” “Lean on Me,” and “Lovely Day.” His warm, intimate style and poetic simplicity made him a beloved figure whose work continues to resonate across generations.","Bill Withers was born in Slab Fork, West Virginia, in 1938 and grew up in the nearby coal-mining town of Beckley as the youngest of six children. Raised largely by his mother’s side of the family after his parents separated, he developed a stutter which made him shy. At 17, he enlisted in the Navy and served nine years before moving to Los Angeles in 1967 to pursue music, even while working as a mechanical assembler in factories and at IBM to support himself.\n\nHis musical debut came in 1971 with the now-classic “Ain’t No Sunshine,” taken from his album Just as I Am. The single became an instant hit, while he famously kept his day job, wary of the fickleness of the music industry. He followed with other enduring songs—“Grandma’s Hands,” “Use Me,” and the anthem “Lean on Me,” which reached Number One in 1972—showcasing his soulful voice, understated storytelling, and musical restraint.\n\nIn the mid‑1970s he continued to craft soulful, melodic albums such as Menagerie (1977), which spawned the uplifting “Lovely Day”—notable for a sustained 18-second note by Withers near the end—and ’Bout Love (1979). In 1980 he partnered with Grover Washington Jr. on the smooth hit “Just the Two of Us,” earning him further acclaim. His final studio album, Watching You Watching Me (1985), marked the end of his mainstream music career; he stepped away from the spotlight with grace.\n\nThough he left the industry early, Withers’s legacy has only deepened. His songs have become standards—covered, sampled, and cherished—to the point that he earned induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2015, three Grammy Awards, and enduring admiration for his relatable humanity and lyrical honesty. A 2009 documentary, Still Bill, captured his quiet satisfaction with life and music. He passed away in 2020, but his voice and sentiment remain a comforting presence in popular culture.",11,[],[],[],[36],"https:\u002F\u002Fcalcuttarecords.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2026\u002F03\u002Fartist-bill-withers.webp",{"subject":81,"strategy":82,"fallback_used":14,"items":83},"product:629587","profile",[84,94,102,110,118,126,134,142],{"product_id":85,"name":86,"slug":87,"price":88,"image":89,"stock_status":15,"score":90,"reason":91},"173662","Greatest Hits - Bill Withers - Brand New Vinyl LP Record (Arrives in 20 days)","greatest-hits-bill-withers-lp-brand-new-vinyl-arrives-in-20days","4599","https:\u002F\u002Fcalcuttarecords.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2026\u002F06\u002FZ98527.jpg",0.8278,{"code":92,"text":93},"similar","Similar to this record",{"product_id":95,"name":96,"slug":97,"price":98,"image":99,"stock_status":15,"score":100,"reason":101},"274877","Donny Hathaway – Now Playing  (Limited Edition Colored Vinyl) - Brand New - Vinyl LP Record (Quick Ship)","donny-hathaway-now-playing-limited-edition-colored-vinyl","3959","https:\u002F\u002Fcalcuttarecords.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2026\u002F04\u002FAATL_726393__188145__05022024033100-2632.jpg",0.8017,{"code":92,"text":93},{"product_id":103,"name":104,"slug":105,"price":106,"image":107,"stock_status":15,"score":108,"reason":109},"629044","Lenny Kravitz – Greatest Hits (2 Lp) - Brand New - Vinyl LP Record (Quick Ship)","lenny-kravitz-greatest-hits-2-lp-brand-new-vinyl-lp-record-quick-ship","7699","https:\u002F\u002Fcalcuttarecords.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2026\u002F11\u002FLenny-Kravitz-Greatest-Hits.jpg",0.7808,{"code":92,"text":93},{"product_id":111,"name":112,"slug":113,"price":114,"image":115,"stock_status":15,"score":116,"reason":117},"628018","Roberta Flack – Killing Me Softly 45 RPM 180 Gram 2LP Vinyl Record - Brand New - Vinyl LP Record (Quick Ship)","roberta-flack-killing-me-softly-45-rpm-180-gram-2lp-vinyl-record-brand-new-vinyl-lp-record-quick-ship","10999","https:\u002F\u002Fcalcuttarecords.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2026\u002F10\u002Froberta-flack-killing-me-softly-45rpm-180g-2lp-vinyl.jpg",0.7856,{"code":92,"text":93},{"product_id":119,"name":120,"slug":121,"price":122,"image":123,"stock_status":15,"score":124,"reason":125},"628989","Billie Holiday – Body And Soul (Verve Essentials Series edition) - Brand New - Vinyl LP Record (Quick Ship)","billie-holiday-body-and-soul-verve-essentials-series-edition-brand-new-vinyl-lp-record-quick-ship","4949","https:\u002F\u002Fcalcuttarecords.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2026\u002F11\u002FBillie-Holiday-Body-And-Soul-1.jpg",0.7784,{"code":92,"text":93},{"product_id":127,"name":128,"slug":129,"price":130,"image":131,"stock_status":15,"score":132,"reason":133},"103745","Greatest Hits Vol. II - Barry Manilow - LP - Pre Owned Vinyl (Arrives in 21days)","greatest-hits-vol-ii-barry-manilow-lp-pre-owned-vinyl-arrives-in-14days","3499","https:\u002F\u002Fcalcuttarecords.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2025\u002F09\u002FMzctODQwNy5qcGVn.jpeg",0.772,{"code":92,"text":93},{"product_id":135,"name":136,"slug":137,"price":138,"image":139,"stock_status":15,"score":140,"reason":141},"408419","B.B.
