It’s time for another edition of our show the Hit Song Redux where we travel back to a week in the golden era of the rock and roll and re rank the top 10 songs of THAT SPECIFIC week based on their legacy since THEIR PEAK POSITION ON THE BILLBOARD HOT 100. with the actual artists commenting with your memories and dedications This program is a love letter to Casey Kasem’s american top 40… this time we travel back to this exact week in december of 1986.. and this week it’s anybody’s game…

before we go into the top ten to get us in the nostalgic mood, the top movies at the box office for this week were: the Golden Child starring Eddie Murphy, Three Amigos with Steve Martin, Chevy Chase and Martin Short and Steven Spielberg’s an American Tale On the boob tube you had great duos like David and Maddie battling it out on Moonlighting, And Balkie and Larry on perfect strangers as well as Peewee Herman on saturday mornings What a time.

Coming in at #10. the oldest song on the countdown. It went to #4 on the hot 100 and #1 on the R&B charts clear back in 1961 and was released in 1986 due to it’s use in a film starring River Phoenix Wil Wheaton, Cory Feldman and Kiefer Sutherland. It’s Stand By Me by Ben E. King.

Ben E. King recorded this song just after he left the legendary singing group .It started off his solo career with a blaze. it was written by King, along with Jerry Lieber and Mike Stoller all using the pseudonym Elmo Glick. the song title was inspired by, a spiritual written by Same cooke and J. W. Alexander called "Stand by Me Father," recorded by the soul stirrers with Johnnie Taylor singing lead. it also came from a desire to update the early 20th-century Gospel hymn “of the same name " by Charles Albert TIndley, which was based around the Psalm "will not we fear, though the Earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea. Director Rob Reiner ran into cowriter Mike Stoller at a part and talked him him into playing many of his classic song while Reiner sang along, months after Reiner had the idea of using Stand by me in his adaptation of Stephen KIngs novella the Body. The song is one of the most lucrative of the rock era with royalties estimated to have topped $22.8 million.
