It's 60 years since the Beatles recorded Help! Tonight, we are after the songs that are a cry for help, From Abba sending out an SOS to a cry for help to make it through the night.

Sixty years ago, The Beatles recorded Help! John Lennon revealed later that it was his cry-for-help song. What are the other songs that ask for a bit of help? Kris was asking for help to make it through the night, Abba put out an SOS and thank goodness Charlie Puth is just One Call Away. Songs about Help!
