Cincinnati Musicians Perform 'Lean On Me' | Cincinnati Children's

When Cincinnati Children's asked local musicians to collaborate for an uplifting project to make people feel good during an uncertain time, dozens of them pulled through.

They performed "Lean On Me" from their living rooms.

At Cincinnati Children's, we know we don't carry the burden of this tough time alone.

From an Indianapolis musician, the musicians (a couple I've had the honor to play with) and the song choice was awesome.. But the most awesome job goes to the folks who do incredible work in our healthcare system. Thanx and much love to my Cincinnati friends..

So wonderful to see. Our son was a patient from Apr 1981 - Sept 1982 as he was premature. He received excellent care, especially from a nurse at the Convalescent Center across from the hospital. Her name was "Linda". He passed away last Sept, after 38 yrs...they thought he would not survive until age 5-6..Thank you so much for this video & for the care he received.

This is so beautiful. So wonderful to see our local musicians' perfect tribute to the doctors and nurses of Children's and to the late great Bill Withers. Thank you for this.

Its amazing what people can do for these kids. My son has been treated there since was born. He is wanting to repay his thanks. He wants to see if the dream car he just bought would bring cheer to some children. @kamrin Jarrells
