the people in the choir have never been slaves, they were amazing but not because they had experienced slavery! cant they just be amazing because they are?
But some of their grandparents were. And many of those old folks were alive in the pre-civil rights era. And black folks today still experience racism on a daily basis.
Daniel Sadjadi +We have all slave blood and the blood of slave owners in us. We all have the blood of colonialists and the colonialized in us. And by the way just because some one has been oppressed don't mean they we never be an oppressor, in fact the opposite it true. This is how the cycle of child abuse continues. The experience of oppression is universal and does not give you magical qualities. By the way Africa is a mess today and it has nothing to due with the west. The African country that were never not colonized by the West is still one of the world's; Ethiopia. Africa is poor because of tribalism.
You would expect Megan or her mother would have been the ones to suggest that this choir play, but it was actually Prince Charles who organized the choir to play at the wedding. Shows how much respect he has for Megan's heritage
@Grace Bertrand so according to you, she needs to live in a ghetto with 4 kids from different fathers, and listening to hip hop while eating a bucket of KFC?... well, that sounds pretty racist
There's something about black voices that will always touch the deepest part of my heart. The raw sound of the soul of black choirs never fails to make me cry.
Oh, how Princess Diana would have loved this. Love is colorblind. She was a princess of the people and she instilled the quality in Prince Harry to grow up knowing that love has no boundaries. This is amazing!
Are you kidding? This is Diana's biggest revenge. This is possibly the most number non-African blacks these royals have ever been with in the same room. They don;t even have black servants.
To me this was the most touching moment of the wedding. Different cultures embrace each other, boundaries vanish, physical and cultural. We are becoming just people, earthlings instead of national, racial and so on labels. This is the world I wanna live in.
Why? Because his song had been sung during a white wedding? Please don't mix things that way! This song WAS AWESOME BEFORE that banal wedding in a brit royal family where royal means nothing that titles, no more authority, no more influence, JUST TITLES! YES SIR!
@@joetke No, because his song was rendered beautifully by a choir of black voices on a worldwide stage. Regardless of what you think, this wedding, and therefore this performance, was important enough to be watched by people around the world. It's true that we can't be sure exactly how he feels, but that seems to be the honest sentiment behind this comment. Please take your screaming and politically charged statements elsewhere.
Already have you’re 300 years too late. Look up Queen Charlotte, she was King George’s wife during the American war of independence. Had 15 kids, 13 of whom survived into adulthood. One of her kids fathered Queen Victoria, so you can claim the current lineage of the royal family are black descendants of Charlotte.
As a white man I would love have something like this at my own wedding. This is just overwhelming of beauty and purity. It embodies love and kindness. So happy my old europe finally open to such a piece of art and culture.
well gospel the gospel is specific to afro-american people. I am not saying choir don't exist in europe but this particular way of singing come from north-american culture.
I believe it was a choice of the new couple to have such a choir. So no forced opening here. And afro-american culture is a part of the American culture. I don't see any problem here either.
Sir Leonor I'm with you brother . I heard a man ,maybe Spanish, sing on a christian channel once. He sang so beautifully and anointed. I didnt understand a word he said but he can sing for me anytime anywhere .
@@snowball6175 Can't believe people actually thought Harry wanted to be apart of the Royal family after his mother's life and death. Sad, that people can't see him as a person and not apart of the "royal family". To me that's disturbing.
GoldSag 1 -its truly remarkable that we witnessed history. This is something we will all remember for the rest of our lives. I really hope they go the distance and have kids. She may be an older woman but she can still make babies and live a beautiful life!
James Carter Can't he tho?!Clear as a bell, like old cool use to say. That choir voices sound heavenly and they look Angelic with the lead Angel rite there in front leading choir to perfection. I have never seen nothing like it. Just heavenly! What a Blessing!
@Kiwi MGTOW - you're calling a curse upon yourself & your fambily for mocking someone's misfortune! you will end up being bald yourself for mocking her! Repent of your foolishness! FURTHER dat "bald lady" she's probably recovering from cancer!
Yup agreed! Still gives goosebumps the same as when I heard it the first time. My mom whooped at the end and cheered so loud! Clapping lol😂 how they didn’t in the church I have no idea! 🎉🎉🎉
Beautiful wedding from start to finish, but this moment truly added the touch of magical heaven to the ceremony... got me choked me up... what a way to make a beautiful touching statement on a deeper level. I bet heaven lit up with Princess Diana's smiles... Congratulations both...
RootsDaughter41926 You Got the words.... This was the Outstanding touch... That set this wedding apart... Not the dress... Not the cake.... Just this. ❤❤❤
this is beautiful. gave me goosebumps! so happy she honored her black heritage and had it there in a royal wedding. The meaning of this is much deeper than people realize
Ana ToFind Very true, I have never seen the Prince this vulnerable in my whole life. She is all he has now, them both against all. Huge step he took, hopefully she truly stands by him. Against all odds, love truly conquers.I don't doubt the Prince loyalty to the end in this marriage with what I see in his eyes.
both these boys got what their parents never did: they married for love. Considering the long history England had of enslaving, robbing, and killing other peoples, Harry marrying a half black woman is a big thing. And considering the trove of veiled and not so veiled racism online, this is even bigger.
The voice of the man, who is the first to start singing, is so so beautiful. He sings so amazing. His voice touches me so much! I just can say: wow, wow, wow...
Without a doubt, my favorite part is when they show Harry and Megan. He’s looking at the love of his life and she looks at them and they exchange smiles. True love right there.
martinbelmont . and you have never spread yours....bitterness is a disease... Stop with the nastiness..if you don't like something that's cool..but bitterness will chew your soul..deep breathes.
WOW! i can't stop watching this, The Voices! If this could be in every Church, every Sunday, then i would never dare miss the church! I love this, I like this, ooh dear! Brilliant!
siri ya mwanamke mkakamavu I guess you have never been to a African ( Black) church? We have 3 choirs, children , women and men (mixed) and the men choirs. We also have a group that sings before our paster walks in. We hear these kind of songs every Sunday.
I am 68, and this was one of the most beautiful performances I have ever seen and heard. It is a wonderful song, and this arrangement reinvented and elevated it to near perfection. Every voice in the choir sounded beautiful, but the lead singer's first few phrases brought chills, then tears. The song and performance fit the occasion brilliantly. This wonderful couple obviously took care in planning their service, and I found it moving, uplifting and romantic -- just what a wedding should be. The world should wish them happiness for many reasons, but giving us this wonderful service surely goes on that list!
You review and critique is beautiful. I loved every minute of this wedding. I pray when time comes because the best of marriages are tested, they will watch their wedding and remember.
Jesus was undoubtedly a real person, non biblical sources such as Clement of Rome, Ignatius, Martyr, Josephus Flavius, & Cornelius Tacitus, Pre-Mark and Q are very early dating to within years of the actual crucifixion of Jesus. Other less valuable sources such as Lucian, Mesa Bar Serapion (depends on dating), Thallus all affirm a constant tradition of Jesus’ crucifixion and ministry. These accounts of Jesus all lead to the Gospel stories being an accurate description of Jesus's life. Even in the Talmud it says denouncing that "Jesus was only a sorcerer" it talks about Mary also and much more, but it's not nice. It does tie in directly with the gospels as Jesus was calling out the hypocrisy of the religious leaders who always tried to catch him out in his words and eventually bear false witness to have him executed. That also fits the tradition of Jesus performing miracles in the gospels to be true because they wouldn't call him a "sorcerer if he didn't do something that would get the crowds attention.
When the night has come And the land is dark And the moon is the only light we see No I won't be afraid No I won't be afraid Just as long as you stand, stand by me And darling, darling stand by me Oh, now, now, stand by me Stand by me, stand by me If the sky that we look upon Should tumble and fall And the mountain should crumble to the sea I won't cry, I won't cry No I won't shed a tear Just as long as you stand, stand by me And darling, darling stand by me Oh, stand by me Stand by me, stand by me, stand by me Whenever you're in trouble won't you stand by me Oh, now, now, stand by me Oh, stand by me, stand by me, stand by me Darling, darling stand by me Stand by me Oh stand by me, stand by me, stand by me
Given the current situation with Harry and Meghan, this song foreshadowed the Prince's resolve to stand by his wife. This is truly a fairytale and Disney should make it into a movie.
I think it's Him Asking Her to stick with Him " if the sky we look upon should tumble and fall And the mountains should crumble to the sea..." " if I were a carpenter..." Just my thoughts
laura plume, I don't know if you noticed, but there was an empty chair by Charles during the wedding ceremony. That empty chair was for Diana. Neither Harry nor William will allow their mother to be overlooked. (As much as the rest of the royal family would like for her not to be mentioned or acknowledged in any way.) She loved her boys and her boys loved her and it shows in EVERYTHING that they do. Well done, to her. ----->---->--
Stand By Me] 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, No I won't be afraid Just as long as you stand, stand by me Chorus So darling, darling Stand by me, oh, stand by me Oh stand, stand by me Stand by me If the sky that we look upon Should tumble and fall Or the mountains should crumble to the sea I won't cry, I won't cry No I won't shed a tear Just as long as you stand, stand by me Chorus So darling, darling Stand by me, oh, stand by me Oh stand by, stand by me Stand by me Whenever you're in trouble, won't you stand by me Oh stand by me oh won't you stand now? stand by me
It is so powerfully emotive of the sacred bond between the bride and the groom. The singers had divine inspiration and a superbly spiritual drive behind their rendering of this uplifting lyric! Words fail to describe the true impact of this performance on my heart and soul!
Indeed, unfortunately the big screen that it was supposedly being shown on in my local area was cancelled at the last minute due to lack of security, gutted
M MC I really hope that African Americans get the same dignity the British Royals have given to their beautiful new princes and culture too in Trumps America rightfully ❤✌
I was just saying i hope African Americans get the respect they deserve in Trump era America like they were given today by Great Britain royals and people ✌
So much History in this Song. It was Written by Ben E. King along with the Late Jerry Lieber & Mike Stoller who were the First Successful Songwriting Team in Music. Their Songs have been covered by everyone from The Coasters, Drifters, Elvis Presley, The Robins, and Willie Mae "Big Mama Thornton". It was also covered by John Lennon (RIP), Mickey Gilley & Maurice White (RIP) of Earth Wind & Fire. It was first a Hit in 1961 then in 1986 featured in the Movie of the same name.
Now let me address those 917 individuals who disliked this video. What did you not like in this performance? The lyrics? The music? The voices? The looks of the performers? Their outfits? The lighting? The acoustics? The decorations? The location? The quality of the shoot? What is there not to like in the divine?
2021 Meghan and Harry’s interview with Oprah tonight and Harry stands by his wife. How prophetic was this song ❤️. They might try to bury us but we are resilient ✊🏾
Love it! On paper, Stand By Me seems a simple song, and certainly Ben E. King wrote it with simple intentions: a love song to his partner at the time, Betty Nelson. Pop songs are seldom expected to mirror the lives of the artists who created them, but it certainly adds a sparkle to the song to know that Nelson would go on to celebrate five decades of marriage with the man who sang to her: “If the sky that we look upon should tumble and fall / All the mountains should crumble to the sea / I won’t cry, I won’t cry / No, I won’t shed a tear / Just as long as you stand, stand by me.” It’s especially fitting that a song about enduring love - a love able to survive, no matter what trials and traumas it encounters - was built equally strongly to stand the test of time.
Actually Greg, if you read the origin of that song, it was a church hymn at the time which Ben E. King adapted. "Stand by Me" is a song, originally performed by American singer-songwriter Ben E. King, and written by King, Jerry Leiber, and Mike Stoller. According to King, the title is derived from, and was inspired by, a spiritual written by Sam Cooke and J. W. Alexander called "Stand by Me Father," recorded by the Soul Stirrers with Johnnie Taylor singing lead. The third line of the second verse of the former work derives from Psalm 46:2c/3c
It's diversity that makes life so beautiful. Fantastic song choice, version and performance. It speaks volumes. I wish the married couple all the love in this world.
Can't stop watching/listening. Chills/tears. The gentleman's voice/solo, the people singing, their clothes, their faces while singing; beautiful, gorgeous. The way they sang Ben E. King's song, soft, strong, heartfelt, soulful, the piano, it was perfect.
I's Luv's this and in 2019 still gives me goosebumps. Absolutely beautiful. What a sound. What a celebration of two people uniting. I can't help but deliver a few liquid drops of emotion.
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 So, darlin', darlin', stand by me Oh, stand by me Oh, stand, stand by me Stand by me If the sky that we look upon Should tumble and fall Or the mountain Should crumble to the sea I won't cry, I won't cry No, I won't shed a tear Just as long as you stand Stand by me And, darlin', darlin', stand by me Oh, stand by me Woah, stand now Stand by me, stand by me Darlin', darlin', stand by me Oh, stand by me Oh, stand now Stand by me, stand by me Whenever you're in trouble Won't you stand by me Oh, stand by me Woah, stand now Oh, stand by me
Meghan, you were destined to be in the royal family. It's tough not having your dad there but we are all standing by you. You made the most beautiful bride ever!!
I can't tell you why I was so teary eyed during the entire ceremony. It was just so moving and beautiful. Harry was emotional during the ceremony. I cannot help but think that he was thinking of his mother and/ or how incredible lucky he is for finding his special person.
The most beautiful thing ever ...why on earth people hate each others just because of skin colors .....at the end of the day we are going to the same place
Everyone should experience this beautiful day. If you're in the legal age and have someone that loves you and they love you back....go ahead and marry them.
When the man first began to sing I got chill bumps everywhere! And I loved the fact that this song was done with such grace and not just belted out! Made it even more beautiful!
I really like how the lead singer didn't try to over stylize the song to make his mark on this song. It was beautiful and respectful for the Royal Family.
Laura Nasewytewa again, they cried when their mother suddenly died and a beloved member of their household dies of cancer and you find something inherently wrong with that? Lol! Smh Hopefully your loved ones allow more grace than you. Just sad and pathetic homestly. 🤷🏽♀️ smh good day.
lilmiss fatn3ss Don’t be ridiculous. Have you lost someone special to you? They were young boys when their mother died. They will never get over her death. Even with the passing years.
I’m a Latina. I CRY 😢 So Much. This means so much to girls all over the world. A Bi-Racial American woman in the royal family. I’m so happy for so many African American girls as a minority I feel so touch by this.👏👏🌷
Ana Karina Aleman cuellar Thank you very much. I can't stop crying.... This day meant so much to me too...so hard to explain. I am so glad that you feel it too!!

Don't mean to be stereotypical or racist in any manner but black choirs have so much soul and raw emotion. They always blow me away.
Ik what you mean. They just have soul that other races can't replicate.
the people in the choir have never been slaves, they were amazing but not because they had experienced slavery! cant they just be amazing because they are?
But some of their grandparents were. And many of those old folks were alive in the pre-civil rights era. And black folks today still experience racism on a daily basis.

And by the way just because some one has been oppressed don't mean they we never be an oppressor, in fact the opposite it true. This is how the cycle of child abuse continues.

The African country that were never not colonized by the West is still one of the world's; Ethiopia. Africa is poor because of tribalism.

stereotypical in anyway. :)

There's something about black voices that will always touch the deepest part of my heart. The raw sound of the soul of black choirs never fails to make me cry.
Glad to hear. I thought I was emotional.
There is no such a thing as a Black voice.
@Merlene Taylor That is a wonderful and accurate description.
We have the voice of our slave parents, we always can feel what we sing.
And you no why that is because were the children of the most high.
This was one of the best thing in the whole wedding

Yes,You ar e you

The other best thing was the kiss

Am I the only one who cried watching this? This is the tenth time I watched this. Soooooooo beautiful. Icing on the wedding ceremony.
Syl Rol no i cried too
I don’t blame you it’s so emotional. The power of love.
@@DevinObi excellent so sweet.
When they say “ Please don’t cry!” So sir pls no! Your special ima just cry 😪😪😪😪
Idem
I love hearing them sing this it’s like walking into the gates of heaven and earning my wings 🥺
You read my thoughts. It feels like a gathering in Heaven. It's amazing.🇧🇧🙏🌹🙏🌻🏵️🌺🦋💕
So true
Without a doubt, my favorite part is when they show Harry and Megan. He’s looking at the love of his life and she looks at them and they exchange smiles. True love right there.
harry and MEGHAN btw.
Yea and it's totally not because they are in front of a crowd and a camera.
I honestly love how they are constantly holding hands throughout the service. This really shows their love for each other.
It can be seen and felt when you watch how he looks at her.
I keep rewatching that part. How he comforts her knowing her nerves were high at that moment. He's soooo into her and its the cutest thing ever!
Leanne Marshall una gran muestra de amor verdadero, bendiciones a la pareja real.........
It also shows a huge insecurity on his part. All that hand rubbing. That's a self soothing habit.
Well done guys..you did Meghan proud
And Meghan has done us proud! :)
martinbelmont . and you have never spread yours....bitterness is a disease... Stop with the nastiness..if you don't like something that's cool..but bitterness will chew your soul..deep breathes.

The year is 2021 and still listening, their rendition is beautiful 🙂
One of the best renditions of this song I've ever heard
IDIOT !! How about the African blood that soils the White British Royal Family !!
You got it right - you are an idiot.
They're all smiling you can see how blessed they're to have been asked to perform and show their greatness
Laura Nasewytewa 🤣
Jimmy swaggart
i literally cried when i saw harry caressing meghan's hand
Best version of this song
WOW! i can't stop watching this, The Voices! If this could be in every Church, every Sunday, then i would never dare miss the church! I love this, I like this, ooh dear! Brilliant!
siri ya mwanamke mkakamavu I guess you have never been to a African ( Black) church? We have 3 choirs, children , women and men (mixed) and the men choirs. We also have a group that sings before our paster walks in. We hear these kind of songs every Sunday.
+Sherry Jimerson true
Sherry Jimerson am living in Germany its very different. I wish this could be here too :(
siri ya mwanamke mkakamavu same here !!
I go to Free Chapel---and everything is great!!
So I miss very very little
if you came you would undertand why
Im African American an was so proud whn this Beautiful choir was singing , my soul was happy..♥️♥️♥️✝️
If this didn't touch you , you don't have a soul
Ahs
I cried! I was moved by their soulful voices.
Stefano Aquilino agreed I almost cried watching it the first time.
imalwaysrightandihateit are you big mad or a little mad
I lost count on how many times I play this video, this choir is just fantastic
They deserve a standing ovation 🤗
The gospel choir were out of this world
Jason Riley
You've lost me what
I am 68, and this was one of the most beautiful performances I have ever seen and heard. It is a wonderful song, and this arrangement reinvented and elevated it to near perfection. Every voice in the choir sounded beautiful, but the lead singer's first few phrases brought chills, then tears. The song and performance fit the occasion brilliantly. This wonderful couple obviously took care in planning their service, and I found it moving, uplifting and romantic -- just what a wedding should be. The world should wish them happiness for many reasons, but giving us this wonderful service surely goes on that list!
Kenneth Hamlett yes!! Well said!!
You review and critique is beautiful. I loved every minute of this wedding. I pray when time comes because the best of marriages are tested, they will watch their wedding and remember.
Your
Jesus was undoubtedly a real person, non biblical sources such as Clement of Rome, Ignatius, Martyr, Josephus Flavius, & Cornelius Tacitus, Pre-Mark and Q are very early dating to within years of the actual crucifixion of Jesus.
Other less valuable sources such as Lucian, Mesa Bar Serapion (depends on dating), Thallus all affirm a constant tradition of Jesus’ crucifixion and ministry.
These accounts of Jesus all lead to the Gospel stories being an accurate description of Jesus's life.
Even in the Talmud it says denouncing that "Jesus was only a sorcerer" it talks about Mary also and much more, but it's not nice. It does tie in directly with the gospels as Jesus was calling out the hypocrisy of the religious leaders who always tried to catch him out in his words and eventually bear false witness to have him executed.
That also fits the tradition of Jesus performing miracles in the gospels to be true because they wouldn't call him a "sorcerer if he didn't do something that would get the crowds attention.
Kenneth Hamlett it brought tears to my eyes...touched my soul.
This is the best rendition of Stand by Me.
Beautiful moment loved it perfect, loved the preacher too UK 🇬🇧 USA 🇺🇸
❤LOVE & FIRE🔥
The preacher nailed it and so did this choir.
I can't stop replaying this video...
Moni Mino eu também 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷

Same here 💗
Me too!!
When the night has come
And the land is dark
And the moon is the only light we see
No I won't be afraid
No I won't be afraid
Just as long as you stand, stand by me
And darling, darling stand by me
Oh, now, now, stand by me
Stand by me, stand by me
If the sky that we look upon
Should tumble and fall
And the mountain should crumble to the sea
I won't cry, I won't cry
No I won't shed a tear
Just as long as you stand, stand by me
And darling, darling stand by me
Oh, stand by me
Stand by me, stand by me, stand by me
Whenever you're in trouble won't you stand by me
Oh, now, now, stand by me
Oh, stand by me, stand by me, stand by me
Darling, darling stand by me
Stand by me
Oh stand by me, stand by me, stand by me

Given the current situation with Harry and Meghan, this song foreshadowed the Prince's resolve to stand by his wife. This is truly a fairytale and Disney should make it into a movie.
@adiamondsmile you've GOTTA be a troll
adiamondsmile eww you’re gross
I think it's Him
Asking Her to stick with Him
" if the sky we look upon should tumble and fall
And the mountains should crumble to the sea..."
" if I were a carpenter..."
Just my thoughts
if she is Cruella de Vil , maybe.. :D
Very true! This song is even more magical!
I hope Princess Diana hear this beautiful song
😭😭
she would be sad coz prince charles stand by camilla
She did 💯💓😇
She might not be there in body but she was there in spirit I'm sure harry and William felt her presence
laura plume,
I don't know if you noticed, but there was an empty chair by Charles during the wedding ceremony. That empty chair was for Diana. Neither Harry nor William will allow their mother to be overlooked. (As much as the rest of the royal family would like for her not to be mentioned or acknowledged in any way.) She loved her boys and her boys loved her and it shows in EVERYTHING that they do. Well done, to her. ----->---->--
I have seen it and I agree with you and also saw Camilla's face also and also see Charles face he was smiling .
Stand By Me]
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, No I won't be afraid
Just as long as you stand, stand by me
Chorus
So darling, darling
Stand by me, oh, stand by me
Oh stand, stand by me
Stand by me
If the sky that we look upon
Should tumble and fall
Or the mountains should crumble to the sea
I won't cry, I won't cry
No I won't shed a tear
Just as long as you stand, stand by me
Chorus
So darling, darling
Stand by me, oh, stand by me
Oh stand by, stand by me
Stand by me
Whenever you're in trouble, won't you stand by me
Oh stand by me
oh won't you stand now?
stand by me
Thanks
It is so powerfully emotive of the sacred bond between the bride and the groom. The singers had divine inspiration and a superbly spiritual drive behind their rendering of this uplifting lyric! Words fail to describe the true impact of this performance on my heart and soul!
Rossana Edna 😍😍😍
Rossana Edna thank you
thank you ❤️
Historical moment! A metis royal family member, a black choir and a female chef d'orchestre! Amazing and makes me very happy.
Indeed, unfortunately the big screen that it was supposedly being shown on in my local area was cancelled at the last minute due to lack of security, gutted
I m so sorry. I don't agree with you. Blacks are in the choir. Whites are invited to the wedding.
This is one of my favorite things to ever exist
The most emotional moment from the wedding,in my opinion, and I m not afro american .. just touched my soul, no matter the colour love is the answer.
M MC I really hope that African Americans get the same dignity the British Royals have given to their beautiful new princes and culture too in Trumps America rightfully ❤✌
The Ancients Ancients
Huh?
The Ancients Ancients Huh?
I was just saying i hope African Americans get the respect they deserve in Trump era America like they were given today by Great Britain royals and people ✌
This was the most awesome part of the ceremony.
Bill Claxton
Yes
Amazing
KRATOS beautiful song at beautiful moment in this special church
KRATOS ?
Anti Comm funny a lot of blacks feel the same way...
So much History in this Song. It was Written by Ben E. King along with the Late Jerry Lieber & Mike Stoller who were the First Successful Songwriting Team in Music. Their Songs have been covered by everyone from The Coasters, Drifters, Elvis Presley, The Robins, and Willie Mae "Big Mama Thornton". It was also covered by John Lennon (RIP), Mickey Gilley & Maurice White (RIP) of Earth Wind & Fire. It was first a Hit in 1961 then in 1986 featured in the Movie of the same name.
KRATOS 1
When I heard this during the wedding, I CRIED MY EYES OUT!!!!!! So beyond beautiful & moving
Now let me address those 917 individuals who disliked this video. What did you not like in this performance? The lyrics? The music? The voices? The looks of the performers? Their outfits? The lighting? The acoustics? The decorations? The location? The quality of the shoot? What is there not to like in the divine?
the ladies from the choir are so BEAUTIFUL
This was the most memorable moment of the wedding for me. So beautifully sung
Me too! I thought they all looked so beautiful and it was a very special moment.
Yes! :)
2021 Meghan and Harry’s interview with Oprah tonight and Harry stands by his wife. How prophetic was this song ❤️. They might try to bury us but we are resilient ✊🏾
Love it! On paper, Stand By Me seems a simple song, and certainly Ben E. King wrote it with simple intentions: a love song to his partner at the time, Betty Nelson. Pop songs are seldom expected to mirror the lives of the artists who created them, but it certainly adds a sparkle to the song to know that Nelson would go on to celebrate five decades of marriage with the man who sang to her: “If the sky that we look upon should tumble and fall / All the mountains should crumble to the sea / I won’t cry, I won’t cry / No, I won’t shed a tear / Just as long as you stand, stand by me.”
It’s especially fitting that a song about enduring love - a love able to survive, no matter what trials and traumas it encounters - was built equally strongly to stand the test of time.
Actually Greg, if you read the origin of that song, it was a church hymn at the time which Ben E. King adapted.
"Stand by Me" is a song, originally performed by American singer-songwriter Ben E. King, and written by King, Jerry Leiber, and Mike Stoller. According to King, the title is derived from, and was inspired by, a spiritual written by Sam Cooke and J. W. Alexander called "Stand by Me Father," recorded by the Soul Stirrers with Johnnie Taylor singing lead. The third line of the second verse of the former work derives from Psalm 46:2c/3c
I get chills everytime I listen to this
How much did this cost? I want them to sing at my wedding!
Karreil2525 well it’s the royal wedding so .....
Ikr
Didnt cost must they where a small gospel group. Before this there biggest crowd was a few 100 people.
Get the music students,,they are comparatively low cost,,and great and passionate to sing!!:))))

Stand by each other Harry and Meghan, even if the whole world is crumbling on you, God is there to uphold you in JESUS' Name. Amen 🙏
I just can't stop watch this
Same here
It's diversity that makes life so beautiful. Fantastic song choice, version and performance. It speaks volumes. I wish the married couple all the love in this world.
Natasa Haas yes worked wonderful in yugoslavia or israel
What a beautiful comment!
Well done Prince Harry! Your beloved mum is well pleased. Go forth as one and serve the people with joy and gladness.
What a prophetic song this turned out to be. And they have surely stood by each other. I absolutely love this choir. Masterful performance.
Can't stop watching/listening. Chills/tears. The gentleman's voice/solo, the people singing, their clothes, their faces while singing; beautiful, gorgeous. The way they sang Ben E. King's song, soft, strong, heartfelt, soulful, the piano, it was perfect.
Kathy King true what a wedding should be different but accepting and fun
I don't know how they sang that without balling 😭😭😭
Turned it into 100 likes :)
True
If listening to that choir singing don't make you feel something, I don't know what will
The best moment in this wedding is this song with this beautiful gospel singer...magic moment!!!! 😍

Sharynie An I am 🤗🤗🤗
Sam Fsure why did you just called him that ? he just ask a question.
I get so emotional listening to this song
The coming together of British architecture and African souls is amazing.
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
So, darlin', darlin', stand by me
Oh, stand by me
Oh, stand, stand by me
Stand by me
If the sky that we look upon
Should tumble and fall
Or the mountain
Should crumble to the sea
I won't cry, I won't cry
No, I won't shed a tear
Just as long as you stand
Stand by me
And, darlin', darlin', stand by me
Oh, stand by me
Woah, stand now
Stand by me, stand by me
Darlin', darlin', stand by me
Oh, stand by me
Oh, stand now
Stand by me, stand by me
Whenever you're in trouble
Won't you stand by me
Oh, stand by me
Woah, stand now
Oh, stand by me
Meghan, you were destined to be in the royal family. It's tough not having your dad there but we are all standing by you. You made the most beautiful bride ever!!
The harmony, the diction and the class...breathtaking performance...I get chills every time I listen to this💖
Black people's singing calibre is out of the world ,amazing rendition perfection at it's best
Jays video tube true
Black/white/Whatever People's singing calibre is out of the world ,amazing rendition perfection at it's best
Anderson Anderas they said what they said. Certain cultures tend to be better at certain things, everyone has different sets of skills, get over it.
Naturalista nas - Certain Cultures, not races or skin color! Get over!
Anderson Anderas Yes, and modern culture is influenced by race. Pick up a book. I'm done going back and forth with a moron who has a Google account.
I can't tell you why I was so teary eyed during the entire ceremony. It was just so moving and beautiful. Harry was emotional during the ceremony. I cannot help but think that he was thinking of his mother and/ or how incredible lucky he is for finding his special person.
dorothy mccaskill I think it was more of his Mum
I've been watching this periodically since the wedding ... amazing ... so beautifully done ..
Hello how are you doing?
Still gives me CHILLS. The soul and raw power the choir radiates, what I’d give to listen to them with those acoustics live.
The most beautiful thing ever ...why on earth people hate each others just because of skin colors .....at the end of the day we are going to the same place
infinitydomi amen
After this wedding , i even had the wish to marry
Lucas Lopes same here😘😘
Everyone should experience this beautiful day. If you're in the legal age and have someone that loves you and they love you back....go ahead and marry them.
Lucas Lopes hahahaahhaahahahahaah
When the man first began to sing I got chill bumps everywhere! And I loved the fact that this song was done with such grace and not just belted out! Made it even more beautiful!
I really like how the lead singer didn't try to over stylize the song to make his mark on this song. It was beautiful and respectful for the Royal Family.
i8urcookie 33 totally agree!

Harry is doing what every responsible family man should do. Stand by his family.
@Marshy 89 to remain in UK and end up like her late mother in law, right?
Daniel Hannah Exactly! He is doing exactly what this song states. That’s a real man and I applaud him for it.
Laura Nasewytewa So men aren’t supposed to be sad or emotional, especially over the lose of their mother? 🤔 Excuse me if I feel sad for you.
Laura Nasewytewa again, they cried when their mother suddenly died and a beloved member of their household dies of cancer and you find something inherently wrong with that? Lol! Smh Hopefully your loved ones allow more grace than you. Just sad and pathetic homestly. 🤷🏽♀️ smh good day.
lilmiss fatn3ss Don’t be ridiculous. Have you lost someone special to you? They were young boys when their mother died. They will never get over her death. Even with the passing years.
I’m a Latina. I CRY 😢 So Much. This means so much to girls all over the world. A Bi-Racial American woman in the royal family. I’m so happy for so many African American girls as a minority I feel so touch by this.👏👏🌷
Ana Karina Aleman cuellar Thank you very much. I can't stop crying.... This day meant so much to me too...so hard to explain. I am so glad that you feel it too!!
Latina is not a Race but a Culture
A Z Manten tus opiniones para ti mismo, perdedor. Ve y consigue una vida. Nunca lo entenderas, idiota. Los celos te conseguira no donde. Dejame adivinar solo amargo y retorcido. Sacude mi cabeza. por que no decirlo en ingles cobarde? No soporto a persons deslmadas malvadas y autocentradas como tu. Alguien es feliz y no puedes manejarlo. Que Perdedor!
I dont see the need of pointing out that you are Hispanic. What does your ancestry has to do With that piece of art? And a minority? You dont have something in common just because the groups of people In Which you are classifed are not the majority
Andre Aguirre I was pointing out that I’m a minority. And how special and proud this makes me. If that’s how I express myself that’s my business not yours!! If you don’t like it then don’t read now drink the 🍵🍵🍵
Am I the only one that was waiting for a standing ovation?
Aliyah Rattigan I think they were told not to clap to shore why
Aliyah Rattigan I know right!! Me too! 😂😂
todos esperando por isso kkkkkkkkkk
Aliyah Rattigan and i thought it was just sung by shafqat amanat in Ra one. o mehrbaaaan :p
It’s disrespectful
That’s the way we do it 😍😍😍😍
Stand by Me
