When the night has come
And the land is dark
And the moon is the only light we'll see
No I won't be afraid
Oh, I won't be afraid
Just as long as you stand, stand by me

RIP Ben E King

Dear All

Hello

Very sad to hear of the passing of Mr King.

He sang the definitive version of " Stand by me".

This song resonates with people of all ages and if, it was released now,
it would find a new audience all over again.


Sincere wishes
Elizabeth, EOS
