'just as i am' regularly features in many top albums of all time lists, this is the debut lp 1971 produced by booker t jones. it led him spending 14 years having regular appearances in the r&amp;b charts most notably with his number 1 hit 'lean on me' as well as 'use me', 'lovely day' and 'just the two of us'. 'harlem' is an underground classic and was the original a-side release before 'ain't no sunshine' the b-side received massive attention and the sides were swapped over for later issues. 'ain't no sunshine' is a true soul classic that reached r&amp;b number 6 and pop number 3 upon its release and has been covered by an almost endless list of stars. it's an impressive list including the likes of nancy wilson, grover washington, jr. michael jackson, the temptations, isaac hayes, roy ayers, sting and paul mccartney. the bluesy 'grandma's hands' reached r&amp;b number 18 and pop number 42 shortly after it's release. this song will be familiar to all fans of the r&amp;b number 1 hit 'no diggity' by blackstreet feat dr dre and queen pen. also featured on 'just as i am' is bill's amazing cover version of the beatles classic 'let it be'. this 40th anniversary edition is released in deluxe super jewel cases, with extensive liner notes, 'just as i am' is a must for all soul, folk and funk fans out there!
