Warning; when you first pull this up it takes a minute for the video clip to load. At first the space below looks blank but give it a few seconds and a graphic for Vimeo (a video site where people share videos called vimeo.com) will start rotating followed by the play screen. If you click on the play button there is an extraordinary music video of the 60's tune "Stand by Me" originally composed by blues artist Ben E. King. It's about five minutes long and a real toe-tapper. Tip: Move your curser over the screen to display the play controls. When you move your curser off the screen they disappear so you can enjoy the video better. The volume is the group of little vertical lines on the lower right. Just click to the left or right of where it is showing to reduce or increase the sound level.
Best of all though, click on the four-arrow symbol just to the right of the volume icon and it blows up the screen for really good viewing. You can press the escape key on your keyboard at any time to exit the full screen mode and there is a scaling control icon in the upper right (when you move the curser onto the screen) which says either "on" or "off" which is kind of like "minimize" and "maximize"...you can make the image a little smaller or bigger on the already-full screen.

The montage below captures some of the performers. I don't know any more about how these people pulled off this audio-visual feat any more than I could explain what "embedding" is but I think you will agree that the result is amazing.
