 The rhythmic music produced for the record features soul, funk, and blues sounds, and lyrics that explore human nature, emotion, and sex from a middle-class male perspective.It also features some of Withers' most popular songs, including the hit singles "Lean on Me" and "Use Me".A commercial and critical success at the time of its release, "Still Bill" has since been regarded by music journalists as a highlight of the singer's recording career and a classic of 1970s R&B.
