Clifford Coulter was the keyboard player for Bill Withers when he released this solo LP. Clifford's voice is a smooth falsetto that will remind the listener of George Duke. His synth inspired arrangments are rich and full. In my opinion this cd should still be in release stateside. It does not have a dated sound, although the music is twenty two years old. It is definitely worth the extra change if you are into seventies and early eighties soul.

5.0 out of 5 stars Keyboard Genius From San Jose, CA, May 22, 2009

This review is from: Better Part of Me (Audio CD)

Musicians around San Jose, California and the greater San Francisco Bay area have for many years been inspired by the playing, writing and singing of Clifford Coulter. Originally a Hammond B3 player, Coulter moved to electric piano and synths in the 1970's and developed an amazing ability on the pitch control level that has to be heard to be believed. Coulter recorded 3 albums during his career, two of which are not available on CD. I highly recommend this album for its strong writing and the keyboard solos which are outstanding. Playing this good never gets dated!

I remembered about 29 years ago, I heard this prolific singer and I never forgot his name! This album was superb and I felt it was written about me and my life at that time! I was quite young, but I never forgot his silky voice and the beautiful lyrics! They danced in my head for years! I asked about him and no one knew of Clifford Coulter! However, I discovered him again on YouTube and my favorite song has and will always be, "Nothing In The World Is Free", which resonates life's theme. I also enjoy the title cut, "The Better Part of Me"! I also love the short, but sassy, "Don't Wanna See You Cry"! Those are my three favorites as well as the other cuts on the album! Hey, I love everything! Too bad these days, taste is out of style! I wished the price for this import was inexpensive, but that is too much to ask! We really need to invest in our own music more! Everybody else seems to be doing it!
