This song, a cover of the great Stand by Me by Bill Withers Ben E. King, is a collaborative effort by musicians from across the world.
It was put together by Playing for Change, a musical movement supporting (RED)Wire in the fight against AIDS in Africa. Click here to see how you can get involved.
“Stand By Me” was originally recorded by Ben E. King, written by King, Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller. Maybe you were thinking of “Lean on Me”?
Nice video, though, and a good reason for sharing it.
You are quite right, thank you!
