"Stand by Me".........oh yeaaaahhhhh!

[brad kaste]

Below is a link to a great piece of sound engineering work. It is a
composite audio/video of song whereby additional tracks were laid in by
different singers and musicians from different places around the world.
The finished product is tremendous! The song itself is that classic
standard "Stand By Me" originally released in 1955 by The Staple Singers
and released again in 1961 by the Drifters.

Check this out with speakers on -

And to think the guys doing the recording traveled all over the world, and the end result was absolutely outstanding. Now that's music.

Brad, absolutely brilliant!

The only problem is, I can't put it on CD and play it in my car!

I don't know who was responsible for putting it all together, but that was masterful work.

Damn! I just can't get enough of this song ... Its been in my head all day today, and I've played the video about 8 times since yesterday.

I like it!!
