Following on from Dave Moore's post on Muhammad Ali recently, I thought I'd post this for you. It's his version of "Stand By Me", released as Cassius Clay in 1964 on UK CBS and US Columbia. Not a bad version - and just to be naff, you can also hear the B-side "I Am The Greatest"!

It was Russ - firstly as AAG 190 in 1964, and then as 202190 in 1966. There's also a UK LP "I Am The Greatest!" (BPG 62274), released 1963 or 1964.

Unfortunately, the LP is completely taken up with comedy sketches and spoken word, apart from "Stand By Me", which appears to be the only music cut on the whole LP. It was also issued on CD by Sony in 1999.
