Love song for Ben E. King's spouse-to-be Betty Nelson, whom he married in 1964. Inspired by Stand by Me Father.
Offered the song to the The Drifters [US], but their manager Lover Patterson refused it.
In 2014, "Stand By Me" was inducted into the Library of Congress 'National Recording Registry' in recognition of cultural, artistic, and historical significance to American society.
