"Stand By Me" (Spyder Turner) #12 2/11/1967

He was born Dwight David Turner in Beckley, WV, but went by Spyder Turner. After a few less than successful records, he joined the ranks of the one-hit wonders with a cover of Ben E. King's legendary tune. The difference was that Spyder threw in some vocal imitations of other R&B singers like Jackie Wilson, Smokey Robinson, and more.
