Singing Beatboxing Saxophonist Performs a Really Cool Version of ‘Stand By Me’ for His Wife

Derek Brown, the multi-talented musician used his incredible beatboxing, saxophone and vocal skills to perform the classic Ben E. King song “Stand by Me“, all while leaning against an alley brick wall, dressed in a hoodie on a frigid Chicago winter night. The most beautiful thing about the performance, however, was the dedication of the song to his wife Rachel, who literally stood by him to try to keep him warm.
