Stevie Van Zandt (also known as Little Steven), through his Rock and Roll Forever Foundation, its K-12 curriculum initiative Teachrock.org and the student-run organization YOUnison have organized a global sing-along of the late Bill Withers’ “Lean On Me.” Tonight, Apr. 30, at 7 p.m. ET, all SiriusXM stations will play the Withers classic as a part of the “Worldwide Day of Gratitude” initiative.

“Teachers, students, and members of the general public, are all invited to learn and share the iconic song via sheet music authorized by Hal Leonard Corporation, as well as special lesson plans developed by TeachRock.org, The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and others HERE,” read a press release. “Participants are encouraged to download the materials and then share their unique versions on YouTube and social media channels using the hashtags #LeanOnUs and #DayOfGratitude.”

“We are all finding ways to say thank you to our essential worker heroes who have worked right through this very scary time,” said Van Zandt via press release. “We applaud them every night at 7 [p.m. ET]. Now we’ll add a great song to say thank you.”

“The effort put forth by the first responders and healthcare workers has been incredibly inspiring to so many around the world,” said Andrew E. Morrison, co-founder of YOUnison, via press release. “To show our gratitude, teachers, students, and people of all ages can use the power of music and the arts to unite to honor these amazing heroes.”
