"I Can Help" is a song written[4] and performed by Billy Swan. Released in July 1974,[1] the song was a big crossover smash, reaching No. 1 on both the Billboard Hot 100 and Hot Country Singles charts late that fall. Although Swan had other charting singles on both the Hot 100 and country charts, the song is generally recognized as being Swan's only major hit single release.[5] However, Swan had continued success as a songwriter for other artists and as a session musician.
