3. Bill WithersStill Bill
I love Bill Withers and this is my favourite Bill Withers record. Again, it’s about the rhythm section. It has the most beautiful songs, but also the most incredible rhythm. This is just a particularly good selection of songs – you’ve got ‘Use Me’ on there, which is a classic, and that would be the first song I’d ever heard by him, when I was really young, like 12, in the clubs in Norwich – [adopts Norfolk accent] "excuse me, have you got ‘Use Me’?". But now ‘Kissing My Love’ is pretty much my favourite song on that record. It’s just beautiful, beautiful music: a beautiful, beautiful man, incredible singing, but also something you can actually have a dance too. What more can you ask than that? It covers all bases.
