Stand By Me one of my most favorite songs! My heart goes out to the family, friends and fans of such an wonderful singer. Isaiah 25:8 will give some comfort to get through this difficult time.

he was definitely one of the greats. The old cliché is still true - they don't make them like they used to!

I was Blessed to know and work with Ben and the Stand By Me Foundation. He was a "Rock" for many and a great friend to me. He will be missed but he is singing in Heaven now and in our Hearts forever.
