One of my all time favourite songs is Ben E. King’s ‘Stand By Me’. He co write the song with Jerry Leiber and Mike Stollers and released it in 1961.
Here’s the original song sung by Ben E. King.

Now listen to the international version from the award-winning documentary, “Playing For Change: Peace Through Music”.

Both are inspiring and I never get tired of listening to this song.
