Loved his solo stuff as well as with the drifters. My favorite drifter’s song would have to be “up on the roof.”

My favorite song stand by me got it tattooed on my foot ❤

[strictlys]

He not only wrote the song stand by me, which is a rework of, stand by me, father by sam cooke and the soul stirrers, but he tried pitching it to different artists. No body wanted to record it. So he did. Youre welcome.

[jyesucevitz]

he had a much deserved resurgence with Stand By Me when the movie came out.

My guy lived the best life out of any famous singer back then
