Bill Withers was quoted as saying "Lean On Me" was the kind of song that could fit any occasion. And in fact, it has.

The essence of this song was ingrained in Withers' upbringing.

He told Songfacts: "When I was in the Navy, I must have been about 18, 19 years old, and I was stationed in Pensacola, Florida. It was a Holiday, I had this car that I was able to buy and I was driving up to West Virginia.
As is the case with young people with cheap cars, the tires weren't that great, so one of my tires blew out on this rural Alabama road. This guy comes walking over the hill that looked like he was right out of the movie Deliverance. He says to me, 'Oh, you had a blowout.' Well, I didn't have a spare tire.
This guy goes walking back across the hill (and I'm not too comfortable here because I know where I am), he comes back walking with a tire, and he actually helps me put the tire on the car.

This was my second album, so I could afford to buy myself a little Wurlitzer electric piano (funny how humble beginnings can generate some of our greatest work). So I bought a little piano and out came "Lean On Me."

I've seen my song be used for hurricanes, earthquake victims, even as recent as COVID-19 (writing this one year before his passing in 2020). And AA movies like "28 Days".
It can really apply to any humanity or brotherhood."

With that said, and in the spirit of brotherhood, I offer you "Lean On Me"!
