I know it's a comment that's too often heard but I just don't understand how any one can put thumbs down to this...

When the night has come And the land is dark And the moon is the only Only light we see No, I won't be afraid No no no no no no No, I won't be afraid Just as long, just as long Just as long as you stand by me Now darling, darling Whenever I'm in trouble Darling, won't you stand I need just a little helping hand Now now now And darling, darling Won't you stand by me If the sky we look upon now, now Should tumble and fall All of the mountains may crumble May crumble to the sea I won't cry, I won't cry No no no no no, I won't shed no tears Just as long, just as long Just as long as you stand by me Now darling, darling I said I need somebody right now I need just a little helping hand I need someone to come pick me up And stand by me Come on, come on, baby, yeah My my my my baby, whoa Come on, come on and stand, stand by me And darling, darling stand by me Come on, pretty baby, and stand now Stand, stand by me Come on and help me, baby I need a little lovin' Come on and stand, stand by me Whenever I'm in trouble Won't you stand by Come on and stand by me, my baby Come on I need a little bit of love

love this version. he had such an amazing distinctive voice that a lot of people preferred or at least thought his versions of songs were equal to the originals

it's time for this music and music like it to come back!

was looking for this version for hours, I love the original, but I knew it wasn't the one I heard long ago and loved, thank you rollingstone for the article

What can i say?Just an extra souful twist to the original by the

Hit the

Can't two legends own the same song? Ben E.'s plaintive vocals and etheric bass is the all-time iconic version, but Otis with those horns wrings the last drops of soul from it. Man could take you away....

You have to be a badass to only truly sing the chorus in the final 30 seconds of the song, haha.

Otis Redding - Stand By Me - when the night has come...  Thanks to James Cameron & +GAGANDO SKI!

this man could make any song his own the greatest soul singer

I would so much like to be at the beach shagging right now.

HE DIDN'T HAVE TIME TO RERECORD SITTING ON THE DOCK OF THE BAY.  HE DIED RIGHT AFTER IT.  THAT'S WHY THE LAST VERSE IS HIM WHISTLING, NOT SINGING.  HE DIDN'T HAVE TIME TO FINISH IT!
