With the finest soul music past and present. Trevor Nelson's Album of the Week is Bill Withers' Live at Carnegie Hall from 1972.

Trevor's Album Of The Week is Bill Wither' 'Live At Carnegie Hall' (1972).
Songwriter/singer/guitarist Bill Withers is best remembered for the classic 'Lean on Me' and his other million-selling singles 'Ain't No Sunshine' and 'Use Me', but he has a sizable cache of great songs to his credit.
After a nine-year stint in the Navy, Withers moved to Los Angeles to pursue a music career in 1967. He recorded demos at night whilst making toilet seats for an aircraft company during the day.
'Live At Carnegie Hall' is a wonderful live album that capitalizes on Withers' trademark melancholy soul sound while expanding the music to fit the room granted by a live show.
