Mr Trump swayed awkwardly for more than three minutes as a singer changed the words of the Ben E. King hit from "Darlin' darlin' stand by me..." to "Donald, Donald, stand, by me...and we'll stand by you".
The country singer, Beau Davidson, went on: "It don't matter where we go..it don't matter what Hillary does."
Also on stage in a ballroom at Mar-a-Lago, Mr Trump's private club in Florida, was the former presidential candidate Dr Ben Carson who has endorsed the billionaire.
Mr Trump mostly kept his arms at his sides and bounced slightly on his feet while moving from side to side.
At one point he clapped his hands and sang along to the words "Donald, Donald, stand by me".
The audience had come to attend a Republican dinner.
Mr Davidson, who is also a television actor, has performed at numerous Republican events including the party's national convention in 2012.
That year he was part of a group called Young Americans For Romney.
Dr Carson, standing at the side of the stage, looked bemused and quietly clapped his hands before laughing at the end.
