Spyder Turner Stand By Me


Spyder Turner  Stand By Me, MGM Records SE-4450 Vinyl, LP

MGM Records 1967    SE-4450

notes:
In 1966, record producer Clay McMurray had Turner's group do
a recording session, and soon after Turner was signed to MGM Records.
The label released his cover version of the soul hit "Stand by Me."
In the song, Turner not only imitated the voices of Ben E. King,
Smokey Robinson, Chuck Jackson and Billy Stewart, among others,
but named them as he sang verses of the song in their style.
