The Wiki:"Stand by Me" is a song, originally performed by American singer-songwriter Ben E. King, and written by King, Jerry Leiber, and Mike Stoller. According to King, the title is derived from, and was inspired by, a spiritual written by Sam Cooke and J. W. Alexander called "Stand by Me Father," recorded by the Soul Stirrers with Johnnie Taylor singing lead. The third line of the second verse of the former work derives from Psalm 46:2c/3c.[2]
There have been over 400 recorded versions of the song, performed by many artists. It was featured on the soundtrack of the 1986 film Stand by Me, and a corresponding music video was released to promote the film. In 2012 it was estimated that the song's royalties had topped $US 22.8 million (£17 million), making it the sixth highest-earning song as of that time. 50% of the royalties were paid to King.[3] In 2015 King's original version was inducted into the National Recording Registry by the Library of Congress, as "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant",[4] just under five weeks before his death. Later in the year, the 2015 line up of the Drifters recorded it, in tribute to him.

Why isn’t he in the Rock en Roll Hall of Fame. You have your supporters Johnny.

[@Birdwatching754]

Taylor swift and dolly parton are in the hall of kfane. What a disgrace to the music business!!!

Love Johnny Rivers. He was in Vietnam and my late husband got to meet him. Said Johnny Rivers a real down to earth man. 🇺🇸🇺🇸❤❤🎶🎵✌✌🤞🤞😍😍

[@NeverTalkToCops1]

When Johnny starts, the audience is instantly mesmerized and infected with joy.

[@victorbunch7725]

Johnny Rivers one of the very best if not the best string pluckers in the business,,,,,,,,,

[@user-co8mh2kx2r]

He's amazing! He still has retained the voice he has had for over 50 years.

[@renarga6886]

Over 60 years, in fact.

[@kathylambert3334]

He substitutes "Lord" for "Darlin," and there's a reason for it. It's comforting to know Johnny Rivers is still around. I hope he lives to be 100.

[@markaungst8975]

Yes I read where he is a born again Christian. All I can say is praise the Lord.

[@brendagilbert8996]

Hey we may be old, but we're not dead. My kids can't believe I still dance my ass off. Been dancing since I was 2 and still going strong. Age has nothing to do with it , it's just a number. And he still has it.

You're right madam , a big hello from France !

[@dianal.clausen8118]

I'm his age, born the same year and he's looking real good to me. Hope his health stays strong. I thought he just did a concert in Nashville that had been cancelled. But I may have misunderstood. Here's to Johnny Rivers, CHEERS 🌟

If there was ever a cover that could "stand" it's this. Have to add Mr. Rivers to my bucket list. Hope COVID ends and the live music can start again.

[@fw1421]

I was lucky to see Johnny twice in the early 2000’s at Billy Bobs in Fort Worth and both times he put on a great show. Glad to see he’s still playing his Gibson ES-335. Great sound.
