Stand By Me | Playing For Change | Song Around the World on YouTube has been viewed more than 13 million times.

This could be the soundtrack of the weekend. Play it loud. Sweet.

Musicians around the world put their hearts into Ben E. King's 1961 classic song.

Grammy-winning* music producer / engineer Mark Johnson recorded and overdubbed and mashed 'em up: A Zuni, N.M. drum group backs up Clarence Bekker in Amsterdam, for instance; Umlazi, from South Africa, caught in the still shot on the video above, blends nicely with Bekker, Roger Ridley in Santa Monica, Calif.and Grandpa Elliott, in New Orleans, as Stefano Tomaselli in Pisa, Italy plays haunting sax.

It's very well done.

Playing for Change is the story. There's a CD, and fall tour dates for the Band that brings them to Boston's Orpheum on Oct. 22.

The site touts a PBS documentary that WGBH scheduled for 3:30 a.m. Wednesday, Aug. 19. I missed it. Any chance of a rerun?

*As "engineer/mixer," Mark Johnson shared a Best Contemporary Blues Album Grammy with Keb' Mo' for Keep It Simple in 2004.
