"It was fate," music producer Don Was says of the recording of a special version of "Stand By Me" by Jon Bon Jovi, Richie Sambora and Iranian musician Andy Madadian as a tribute to the people of Iran in the wake of their turbulent national elections.
With nearly wall-to-wall coverage of Michael Jackson's death, it might be easy to forget the ongoing struggle taking place in Iran. But rocker Jon Bon Jovi hasn't forgotten.
Earlier this week, Bon Jovi and bandmate Richie Sambora recorded a version of Ben E. King's classic "Stand by Me" with Iranian superstar Andy Madadian.
