Here’s who sang what in the #StrongerTogether all-star song (and listen again)

Sunday’s #StrongerTogethere multi-platform special was wonderfully Canadian. Here’s hoping that it raised a ton of money for Canada’s food banks.

The program wrapped up with an all-star version of the late Bill Withers’ “Lean on Me.”

Here’s who sang what.
