    "That's What Friends Are For" is a song written by Burt Bacharach and Carole Bayer Sager.

    It was first recorded in 1982 by Rod Stewart for the soundtrack of the film Night Shift, but it is better known for the 1985 cover version by Dionne Warwick, Elton John, Gladys Knight, and Stevie Wonder.

    This recording, billed as being by "Dionne Warwick & Friends", was released as a charity single for AIDS research and prevention. It was a massive hit, becoming the number-one single of 1986, and winning the Grammy Awards for Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals and Song of the Year. It raised over $3 million for its cause.

    This song is heartily dedicated to our very good friend Ruth Abrea!!!

    I’ve always had trouble figuring out the chord on the lyric “moor”. Everything I’ve read doesn’t seem to fit.

    On the chord progression that I am using, my book says to use Gm, but it does not fit very well.
    And so I used Em7.
    Pls let me know if this works for you, and if you have any question on the Em7 chord (at least for your chord progression).
    Hopefully you are also using the same chords.
    I put the capo on the 4th fret to make the song fit my vocal range better.
    If this helps, I also try to strum the top four strings (E-A-D-G) while playing the Em7 chord. Keeps the sound tuned up with "moor".
    Thanks for asking.
    Respectfully,
