Hell yeah! One of the greatest, and one of my favorites.

But how do you rate the voice in that recording, please?

Earthy, I feel.

.... I posted the YouTube videos was to see the difference in the tone in his voice. I don't know why, and it's only my opinion, but the recording you posted kind of didn't sound like Bill Withers. that was a song that I'm not really familiar with, so he may have altered the style of singing that I'm used to for that song. Of course all I have is an 8in Lenovo tablet, and the speakers are not top notch quality, so that may make a difference. No disrespect, but personally, I probably would not use that app for my music. Having said that, I can positively state that I am no aficionado when it comes to music appreciation.

but we're talking at cross-purposes a little. The voice at soundcloud is that of a lady friend of mine, who I'd like to encourage to sing more.

The song, "Use Me" is a Bill Withers composition. Mick Jagger also performed it:

Yeah, I read that completely wrong. What got me confused was that for some reason I knew that wasn't Bill Withers, although it did have a throaty sound. I thought that perhaps you are a younger person who is not familiar with Bill Withers, and was seeking opinions on what people thought about him. Then you acknowledge that you are aware Bill Withers is a legend, but wanted to know how this recording sounded. I've then decided that you were seeking advice on the quality of the app. Finally, your third post made it clear what your purpose was. If you had simply stated in your OP that this was a friend of yours singing a Bill Withers song, what do you think of the voice?...... all of the confusion could have been avoided. Having said that, I think you should continue to encourage your friend to pursue singing. After listening to the recording again, I believe it would be well worth her while.
