Club Nouveau is an American R&B group formed by record producer/performer Jay King in 1986 in Sacramento, California, following the breakup of the Timex Social Club. The group’s name (French for “Club New”) was changed from its original incarnation, “Jet Set”, to capitalize on the breakup. The group is best known for their version of Bill Withers’s song “Lean on Me”, which won a Grammy award for Best R&B Song in 1987. After nearly a decade away, the band released a new track in 2024.
