Spyder Turner's 1966-67 classic hit version of 'Stand By Me' on MGM Records was a
masterpiece recording. His vocal impressions of Jackie Wilson, David Ruffin, Billy
Stewart, Smokey Robinson and Chuck Jackson was his way of tributing to the great
top R&B / Soul artists during the era of the mid 1960's. Chuck Jackson was Spyder's
influence in music.

'Stand By Me' hit No.3 on Billboard's R&B Singles chart, the week ending January 28, 1967
while his self-titled LP 'Stand By Me' charted No.25 on the R&B album charts on April, 15 1967.

Originally recorded by Ben E. King in 1961, it was based on a old spiritual called
'Lord, Stand By Me'. King wrote new lyrics to the tune.

Even though I am 13 years old, this song is beautiful. What time period was this song made? I may be mistaken, but is it around late 50s early/mid 60s?

@DeathLeftHid Hey there. Glad you enjoyed the song. The song was released in November 1966. The original version recorded by the great Ben E. King was released in 1961.

Spyder............... I heard it in a radio program when i was a teenager............. i redorded it a a cassette, but i lost it. Now I'm hearing it again....... times has change from that times. So much time, i feel im other person, far away, but the songs is the same, the voice is the same and i feel sure that im the same crazy teen.

In my own, of course.......

I was in a bar in downtown Saigon when someone played this song. I looked at the Jukebox and almost had a heart attack... Turner and I grew up in pretty much the same neighborhood in NY. He was about3 or 4 yrs older than me, I believe I met him once before I shipped off to Viet Nam. I haven't heard this song in 42 yrs...thanks so much for posting it.

I remember listening to this song on the radio during my junior high and high school years back in the 60's. This is my favorite version.

Great post, thanks. And a terrific song which is well strong enough to take lots of interpretation. Try the version by Jimmy and David Ruffin together - spine-tingling.
