Deep Listening Day #93 — Sylvester: Stars (1979). his cover of #BenEKing's I (Who Have Nothing) is the stand out of the 3 Hi-NRG tracks, but the slow and lowdown I Need Somebody To Love Tonight written by #PatrickCowley is the song I can't get enough of.

"Stand by me" - Ben E. King
The video from the movie Stand By Me, so about 40 seconds of Ben singing in black-and-white, a montage of still pictures, and then an actor performs the rest of the song. He's eventually joined by the lads from the cast, and there are clips from the film.
Rev. Mayo is right: the song still sounds ace all these years later.

"Stand by Me" is a song originally performed in 1961 by American singer-songwriter #BenEKing and written by him, along with #JerryLeiberAndMikeStoller, who together used the pseudonym Elmo Glick. According to King, the title is derived from, and was inspired by, a #spiritual written by #SamCooke and #JWAlexander called "#StandByMe Father", recorded by #theSoulStirrers with #JohnnieTaylor singing lead.
