Of course, the instantly recognizable anthem "Ain't No Sunshine" gets all of the acclaim it so richly deserves, but in tracks like "Harlem", "Grandma's Hands", "I'm Her Daddy" and "Better Off Dead" you can hear the intensity and maturity of Bill's performances as well.

Earle showed an angry literacy, a dark sense of humour & a street-smart snarl that was uncommon amongst his country counterparts and made him stand out amongst the crowd. But he was also an outcast because of his anti-Vietnam stance & long hair.

Their 1980 debut album 'The Awakening' is a diverse album marked by chunky dance music, romantic ballads and even a instrumental fusion track. Hit song "Remote Control" is a funky party song with an energetic bass line, while ballads such as "Come In Out Of The Rain" are reminiscent of Otis Sr. in his heyday.
"Lush Life", a last minute addition to the session after they heard Nat King Cole's rendition on the car radio on their way to the studio. This version, would become the definitive one, and it still sounds as poignant as it did forty years ago.
