Legend.

Wow, I figured he was dead already for some reason.

"Stand by Me" won the Movie Soundtrack Song Tournament. Nominated by Derek Vinyard.

R.I.P. He really was nothing short of a legend. Stand By Me is one of the greatest songs ever. Bar none.

He was also a member of The Drifters early in his career.

R.I.P. :(

Oh man, loved Ben E. King. He was one of the lead singers of the old soul group, The Drifters. Some of my favorites by him as a Drifter were "This Magic Moment" and "Save the Last Dance for Me."

I loved his solo stuff, too, with "Spanish Harlem," "Stand By Me," and "I Who Have Nothing."
Truly a great loss. Godspeed, Ben.

He had a great voice and his songs brought pleasure to millions of people. You coudn't ask for more of a legacy.
RIP

Did not know that. The Drifters was the runner-up for the Sweatin' to the Oldies Song Tournament with their song, "Under the Boardwalk." Nominated by The Sci-Fi Slob. Both that tournament and Movie Soundtrack Song Tournament were ran by me.
