I'll Be Around by the Spinners is his 2nd choice. He says this is a song that uses only 2 chords & that he mentions it when teaching a song writing class.
I don't mind Try A Little Tenderness but I think it goes over the top at the end.

I was surprised to find when I opened YouTube that I already knew I'll Be Around from a cover version by an Australian singer, but this is the first time I had heard the Spinners version. It's OK. I don't worship this sort of music as much as Glenn does.

I do wish he would mention a British song. He loves the Beatles, I know that.
