Donald Trump and Ben Carson Awkwardly Sway to Awkward Rendition of 'Stand By Me'
On Sunday, Donald Trump attended the Palm Beach County Republican Party's annual Lincoln Day fundraiser in Florida. There, alongside opponent turned supporter Dr. Ben Carson, the GOP presidential candidate was serenaded by country artist Beau Davidson with a special rendition of “Stand By Me.” It was ... awkward.
Davidson altered the lyrics to the beloved Ben E. King song, swapping out “Darling, darling,” for “Donald, Donald.” In an interview with Fox411, Davidson said, “Mr. Trump had a huge smile on his face. He grooved to the beat and even joined the chorus once he heard his name in the lyric.” He also added, “Dr. Carson enjoyed the performance, smiled, and clapped along.” One look at Trump and Carson would suggest they weren’t exactly having the time of their life, however.

Beau Davidson is a triple threat: a two time Emmy nominated singer, song-writer and an actor. He released his newest record, The American Gentleman on March 3, 2016, along with the music video for his take on the world renowned song, “The Lion Sleeps Tonight.”
Davidson describes the record as “neo-classicism in a diverse, contemporary album, meaning, we have taken some classic songs and re-imagined them, and I use that word as opposed to "covering," because a cover is essentially mimicry. The American Gentleman recalls the day when there was chivalry and a quintessential American romanticism. We took songs like George Strait's "I Cross My Heart," Billy Joel's "Shes Got a Way" and Ben E. King's "Stand By me," and re-interpreted them with deep feeling and debonair production. I call it "feel music," because I hope it evokes genuine emotion from the listener.”
The singer, who hails from Memphis, TN, is heavily influenced by soul music, including Elvis, as well as Pavarotti and Billy Joel. He spoke about his hit song, “Blessed,” and the inspiration behind the song, which was to create a partriotic song “unlike other songs out there.We just don't have a bevy of modern patriotic tunes. I had witnessed apathy in my generation when it came to patriotism, so this was my way of trying to get young people to recognize how good they have it. It's why I write "It is easy to remember, but easy to forget the beauty of our country and the simple gifts we get."
Davidson’s patriostism has shone through on multiple levels, and he will be honored by performing”Blessed” and the National Anthem at the Lincoln Day Dinner as well as performing for Veterans at the Palm Beach VA Hospital in Florida later this month. Davidson is looking forward to performing for the military veterans and watching their reactions to hearing “Blessed” be performed: “when your writing or artistry actually stirs another person is pure magic. You know you have done something right.”
Something else that Davidson is doing right is tackling the legendary song “The Lion Sleeps Tonight” which he performed with the original Jay Siegel’s Token. Davidson released the video for the song on March 3rd in connection with National Geographic and Casting Life Films. He was inspired to cover the song and add in a modern 2016 flavor “with some big brass, but with the very guys who made it a hit in 1961, and voila- here we are doing that very thing! It was so great to re-generate the song and put a different spin on it. It has 72 tracks in it, so it really is a "beast" of a song.
Beau Davidson will be performing "Blessed" on special days like Memorial Day, July 4th, and Veterans Day, so stay tuned to beaudavidson.com for all of his tour dates and TV appearances!
Memphis born Vocalist (music on CMT, GAC, MTV, and VH1) and Actor (Days of Our Lives, Gilmore Girls and the upcoming “The Ultimate Legacy” on Hallmark Channel) Beau Davidson was recently named one of “Nashville’s 25 Most Beautiful People” by Nashville Lifestyles Magazine and one of Cosmopolitan Magazine’s “51 Hottest Bachelors,” (representing his home state of Tennessee).

"Werewolf? That's a little racist don't you think? I prefer the term 'sexy man beast' it's much more accurate."
Beau is a huge flirt, but once he's captured a girls heart, it doesn't take him long to release it and move on to the next. He can't help but cause trouble too, winding up vampire's is his favourite past time, though he only does it for fun. Unlike the rest of his house, he doesn't quite understand the feud between werewolves and vampires, but he wouldn't dare tell anyone from his house that.
