Lean on me when times are bad.
When the day comes and you're down,
In a river of trouble and about to drown
Just hold on, I'm comin',
Hold on, I'm comin'.
I'm on my way, your lover.
If you get cold I'll be your cover.
Don't have to worry `cause I'm here,
No need to suffer baby, I'm here.
Just hold on, I'm comin',
Hold on, I'm comin'.
Hold on, I'm comin',
Hold on, I'm comin'.
(Lookie here)
Reach out to me for satisfaction,
(Lookie here. All you got to do)
Call my name now for quick reaction.
Don't you ever be sad,
Lean on me when the times are bad.
When the day comes and you're down baby,
In a river of trouble and about to drown,
Just hold on, I'm comin',
Hold on, I'm comin'
Just hold on,don't you worry, I'm comin',(here ya come)
Hold on, I'm comin'.
Just hold on,don't you worry I'm comin',
Hold on, I'm comin'.
Thanks jj. What about the horn section? Dynamite!
As msbolton posted about 10 months ago: Booker T and the MGs along with the Mar-Keys backed Sam and Dave. Isaac Hayes and David Porter wrote the lyrics.

"So, Sam, what should we call ourselves?"
"I dunno, Dave. What do you think?"
Cropper & Dunn

Just bumping this 😀👍
Anyone know who played the music for this? Funk Brothers comes to mind.
Cropper & Dunn
Karen Silver did a disco version of this
I never heard it. I don't care for disco. Except for 4 or 5 tunes.

Hold on, I'm comin'."
— Sam & Dave, Hold on I'm Comin'
Best double entendre song title ever.
"Hold on, Lothar, I'm coming." A panel from the Mandrake the
Magician comic strip...

"I dunno, Dave. What do you think?"
What, precisely, are you saying here? Ginger Baker died, and, "Hold on, I'm coming"?!?
Maybe I'm just in a morbid mood this morning.
LOL....Aren't we all coming (or going?) soon too....eventually.....at least we're both thinking of this morbidly and not adolescently. LLRP

Fixed, finally (thought I'd done that months ago).
I feel that more than a kick-ass fun movie "Blues Brothers" is an American Musical History education
Love this song!!!
Not just me then... that was over in about 25secs of jumpy snippets!
I watched a great, great documentary about Stax/Volt Records on PBS years ago. I'm not sure if this is the same documentary on YouTube, but it apparently aired on BBC 4 and is likely pretty damned good.

The YouTube uploader, corporalhenshaw, uses two different titles—"The Story of Stax Records" and "The Stax Records"—for the same piece.
WonderLizard is right: black and white musicians worked together without friction and musicians who just happened to be around the studio became famous. As I've written elsewhere on RP, one musician came to Stax for a recording session and finished with time to spare. The engineers gave the leftover time to the musician's driver, Otis Redding. And there's this tidbit from the Wikipedia entry for Booker T. (yes that Booker T.) Jones:
While hanging around the Satellite Record Shop run by Estelle Axton, co-owner of Satellite Records with her brother Jim Stewart, Jones met record clerk Steve Cropper, who would become one of the MGs when the group formed in 1962. Besides Jones on organ and Cropper on guitar, Booker T. and the MGs featured Lewie Steinberg on bass guitar and Al Jackson, Jr. on drums (Donald "Duck" Dunn eventually replacing Steinberg). While still in high school, Jones co-wrote the group's classic instrumental "Green Onions," which was a massive hit in 1962.
(Stax was originally known as Satellite Records...)
"What?"
"Rollers."
"Naw!"
"Yup."
"Shit."
Hmm. When I saw that movie as a kid, I did not catch the bit about "Rollers". Until recently I still would have not caught it. I was enlightened when I read Iceberg Slim.
What kind of music do you usually have here?
Oh, we got both kinds, country AND western!
LOL!
The same situation is described in the movie "Muscle Shoals", the story of the music coming out of the Shoals around this era. The "Swampers", backing musicians for many of Aretha's early hits, were all white session players, but they had the funk. I found it a very interesting movie.

Back story of this songs creation courtesy of Bob Lefsetz:
Isaac Hayes was at the organ, David Porter was in the bathroom, it was late at night, they were writing a song, Isaac was impatient, he implored Porter to come back into the studio. Porter yelled out HOLD ON, I’M COMIN’!
And then Porter immediately came out of the loo with his pants around his ankles, screaming THAT’S IT!
Elwood: No, ma'am. We're musicians.
Mr. Man!
That's right, Elwood pushes the tape into the tape player, Sam & Dave starts up, and the cops give chase ('rollers') On another level, it's sad though how 'Atlantic' helped to screw over 'Stax' during the Sam & Dave era, by tricking them into signing away the rights to the original master recordings for all of Stax's Atlantic-distributed recordings
Both label logos are classics
