OK, here goes...
The 4 versions of Stand By Me which made the UK Charts are,
1) Ben E King, 1961 and 1987. The first time around it reached no 27 and was 7 weeks in the chart. The 2nd time was a re-issue and hit the top. It stayed 11 weeks in the chart.
2) Kenny Lynch 1965 - Reaching no.39, 7 weeks in the charts.
3) John Lennon 1975 - Reaching only no.30. Also 7 weeks in the charts.
4) 4 the cause 1998 - They took their version to no.12 in this year. This US act was their only UK top 40 hit lasting 9 weeks in the charts.
These are correct up to the 16th Ed of the Guinness book of hit singles. Don't know of any others.
Ps Oasis Stand by me is not a cover of Ben E Kings

Scott Walker sang a cover of it in the 60s but nothing touches the original.

it was digitally remastered for the Stand By Me movie...I believe that is the most up to date version you will find by Ben E. King
