    RIP - 'Stand By Me' is one of the greatest songs of all time. It accompanied a great film in the 80s of the same name.

    Rest in peace

    His version of stand by me was played at a good pal of mines funeral

    Hard to believe he was only 76 though

    RIP,

    I thought he was a lot older than 76, seems like he's been around for ever

    Stand by Me was the first song my Wife and I danced to at our Wedding Reception. They don't make 'em like that anymore.

    RIP.

    One of the first oldie RIP threads where as soon as I saw his name I thought oh no what a shame great voice. Soundtrack to the best 80s film ever and an iconic timeless classic tune that will never not bring a smile to the face regardless of how your feeling
