Televised Tune: On the Tube This Week

While not a movie about music, Stand by Me is certainly a musical film. Country Music Television will air the 1986 Rob Reiner classic based on the novel by Stephen King on Tuesday at 11PM. Not quite sure what is “Country” about this flick but it’s a great one that is heightened by the soundtrack that includes Ben E. King’s awesome title track, Buddy Holly’s Everyday, the Del Vikings’ Come Go With Me and The Chordettes’ Lollipop.
