Just As I Am is the debut studio album by American soul musician Bill Withers, released on May 1 1971, by Sussex Records.

The album features the hit single "Ain't No Sunshine", which was ranked at number 280 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.

The album was later reissued as a dual disc with the DVD side featuring all the tracks in 5.1 Surround Sound.

[12] Reviewing in Christgau's Record Guide: Rock Albums of the Seventies (1981), Robert Christgau wrote:[3] With faultless production from Booker T.—even the strings are taut—this is an unusually likable and listenable middlebrow soul LP.

As befits a strummer of acoustic guitars, Withers is more folk than pop, and when he adds folk seriousness to a gospel fervor surprising in such an apparently even-tempered man, he makes titles like 'I'm Her Daddy' and 'Better Off Dead' take on overtones of radical protest where other singers would descend into bathos.
