“Lean on Me” by Bill Withers
One could make the argument that the greatest soul song of all time is Bill Withers’ “Lean on Me.” The Stirrings of conscience become anthems in the hands of a master, and this is one of those rare moments. Withers’ recording career was just getting started when he wrote this anthem of friendship and support. Released as a single in 1972, “Lean on Me” hit the Top 5 on both the pop and R&B charts. It would ultimately be inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame. The song has been covered by everyone from club acts to country stars, but no one has ever improved upon the original.
