Stand By Me
David Grant finds out about the song鈥檚 Christian roots.听 Stand By Me is one of the best-selling songs of the 20th听century. Co-written by Christian singer Ben E King, we reveal its origins as a gospel song 鈥淟ord Stand By Me鈥�. Ben E King had a strong background in church music. He pushed The Drifters to record the song originally, but the group鈥檚 manager rejected it. This year, The Drifters have recorded the song, as a homage to Ben E King in the year he died.
