Song of the week: Stand by me

We sing this song most Fridays and I know you love it, but, have you ever listened to the original version by Ben E.King?

Benjamin Earl King(born September 28, 1938), better known as Ben E. King, is an American soul singer. He is perhaps best known as the singer and co-composer of "Stand by Me," a U.S. top 10 hit in both 1961 and 1987 and a #1 hit in the UK in 1987, and as one of the principal lead singers of the R&B vocal group The Drifters.
