  • This is the 1955 Gospel song by The Staples Singers that Ben E. King's famous song of the same name is based on. He wrote his song in 1960 and climbed the charts to Number 1 twice!
    Lyrics by : Charles A. Tind­ley
    When the storms of life are raging,
    Stand by me (stand by me);
    When the storms of life are raging,
    Stand by me (stand by me);
    When the world is tossing me
    Like a ship upon the sea
    Thou Who rulest wind and water,
    Stand by me (stand by me).
    In the midst of tribulation,
    Stand by me (stand by me);
    In the midst of tribulation,
    Stand by me (stand by me);
    When the hosts of hell assail,
    And my strength begins to fail,
    Thou Who never lost a battle,
    Stand by me (stand by me).
    In the midst of faults and failures,
    Stand by me (stand by me);
    In the midst of faults and failures,
    Stand by me (stand by me);
    When I do the best I can,
    And my friends misunderstand,
    Thou Who knowest all about me,
    Stand by me (stand by me).
    In the midst of persecution,
    Stand by me (stand by me);
    In the midst of persecution,
    Stand by me (stand by me);
    When my foes in battle array
    Undertake to stop my way,
    Thou Who savèd Paul and Silas,
    Stand by me (stand by me).
    When I'm growing old and feeble,
    Stand by me (stand by me);
    When I'm growing old and feeble,
    Stand by me (stand by me);
    When my life becomes a burden,
    And I'm nearing chilly Jordan,
    O Thou "Lily of the Valley,"
    Stand by me (stand by me).

      I just watched ending of Death of the Nile, I watched but couldn't even see nor hear the actress, all i saw was Mavis and her sisters, along with pop's guitar, brought tears to my eyes, of course this is not the version they played in the movie, it was an older version of this song, this is a live version

    Those who enjoy 60's soul and motown may not be aware that gospel music sung in church was the basis of that music. Even though the music is not direct copies there was enormous controversy when writers and performers moved church themes into hot performance and racy tunes.

    Pervis Staples, born in 1935, was a member of the group, along with his dad and his sisters Cleotha and Mavis, from 1948 (apart from his spell in the armed services). He left the group in 1970, apparently to pursue artist management and song publishing. I can't find anything more about him. Hope this helps.

King , esta primera version no tiene mucho ritmo, aunq quizas para 1955 era buena ,aunq para esa epoca ya elvis presly tenia dominada la industria de la musica ,creo q por eso fue q sacaron la segunda version porq el rock and roll era lo q estaba de moda en ese entonces.
