Anywho....moving on..

This track on Stand By Me was put together by not so well known artist from the streets of the world (Rua de Mundo) where you and i live. Roger Ridley started with the base track-vocals and guitar-recorded on from the street of Santa Monica,  California. Next was Grandpa Elliot a blind singer from the French quarters in New Orleans, Louisiana, his vocals and harmonica was added while listening to RR's base track on headphone, legal! right?...(legal in Portuguese means cool/awesome) Washboard chaz from same city added some metal percussion to it...Washboard waow! how creative can those who wants CHANGE can get...it beats me big time.

From there it got rock 'n' rolling bananas lolz. The producers took charge, mixing the resulting produce all through South America Rio, Europe and Africa my homeland adding new tracks with different instruments and vocals. Watch the final product below;
