1) “Stand by Me” is NOT a Negro spiritual, although it was based on one called, “Lord, Stand by Me.”
2) It was released in 1961 originally
3) Released as a rock song by John Lennon, 1975.
There. Now I feel better.
The Germans (Germany!) could use some Germans!
Frederick Barbarossa please answer the white courtesy phone you’re needed!
Heck a Hohenzollern will do!
Smelly salts, or whatever.
Was the preacher given a time limit? Most things like this are scheduled to the minute. I thought that Harry looked very happy except when the preacher went in and on. He seemed to think that this occasion was about himself. I guess he will be the new darling of the swamp media.
Complete garbage rendition. I despise the “vocal mastication” style of singing favored by pop stars today and this rendition is all of that... No thanks..
Er... that is an instrument called "Cello"...
......” the Queen had that choir situated all the way in the back of the church”.....
Well silly the front is for the bride, groom and the clergy.
The middle holds the ‘traditional’ boys choir..... there was no other place to put them.
Elton John.
The Royals aren’t ‘allowed’ to be political. They are figureheads who do public works. That’s all.
idiots to WHO? people that don’t like “us” anyhow? Who cares what they think.
Our Episcopal minister would not let us play “Here comes the Bride” for that reason.
The Gospel Choir picked the wrong song, then. Its a church, after all.
There, I fewel much better.
“I didn’t know that was a gospel song”
It isn’t.
And I did not care at all for the hip hop sermon and turned it off relatively quickly.
A banal homily on love? While the loving Muslim presence was very evident during the celebrations in the form of the British military spaced out in arms’ length from each other.
No excuse. Being a member of the figurehead royal family does not excuse one from basic human decency. Millions of us who could nothing except pray did that. They absolutely could have influenced the outcome, or at least condemned the situation, and chose not to.
Listened on the radio, the sermon was beautiful - all on the power of love, very nice. Stand by me was a real surprise and a beautiful rendition.
We are the USA and not part of the UK - and I can not understand why some people (here) have so much nastiness about this marriage and how they wanted it done, jealousy is a guess.
Loved the American Gospel choir as well! The ceremony was a neat mix of British and American musical cultures.
Who is “us”?
