Sheryl Crow – Lean on Me

Sheryl Crow, Keith Urban and Kid Rock joined forces to perform the hit song “Lean on Me” during MTV’s “Hope for Haiti Now: A Global Benefit for Earthquake Relief.”

Written by Bill Withers and released in 1972 on his second album Still Bill, “Lean on Me” was inspired by Withers’ small-town upbringing in the mining community of Slab Fork, West Virginia — a close-knit atmosphere Withers pined for after moving to L.A. The song hit #1 on July 8, 1972, and remained on the charts for 19 weeks. In 2004, the song was ranked #205 on Rolling Stone’s 500 Greatest Songs of All Time list.
