William Lance Swan (born May 12, 1942) is an American country singer-songwriter, best known for his 1974 single, "I Can Help".

Swan was born in Cape Girardeau, Missouri, United States. As a child, he learned drums, piano and guitar, and began writing songs. His first big break was in 1962 when Clyde McPhatter recorded "Lover Please", a song written by Swan when he was in a local band called Mirt Mirly & the Rhythm Steppers, who had first recorded the song on Bill Black's Louis label. McPhatter's version quickly became a No. 7 pop hit.

  • Love this song! I’m 76 remember the words. Any woman would love this! No diamonds or rubies for this lady! A man who wants to help! That’s all I would need!❤❤❤❤❤

    You can tell this song is really old because today's singers don't sing about loving someone and wanting to help with her children 😱😂😂😂 Love this song 🥰 it was from his heart 🥰😘

    Haven’t heard this in 20 years. Still knew the words. That’s how good it is.

    This song seemed to own the airwaves in late ‘74.
  • Our generation was so lucky and hardly knew it back in the day. But now with all the music from our time available on the internet makes one realize how good we had it. There was so many great bands and artists that we were to busy dancing and rocking out to have time to stop and think about it. Truly what a great time it was to be growing up and having the best music of all time.

    This was very big on country music radio , back in the day. Only way I can remember it so well. Pure talent.
  • Can't believe I woke up at stupid o'clock and thought of this tune. It's a great tune. Nothing like a bit of nostalgia
