Taking to the America's Got Talent stage, homeless chorale group Voices of our City Choir sang their hearts out with a truly stunning cover of Ben E. King's song, 'Stand By Me.'

Blowing the show's judges away with their powerfully emotional vocals, there wasn't a dry eye in the room.

Judge Kenan Thompson - who was filling in for Simon Cowell after he broke his back - told the choir: "I mean, it was incredible. I don’t know if you get a kick out of making people cry their eyes out, but that’s what you guys do every time you hit the stage.
