Subject: Ben E King R&B legend dies at 76
Written By: Philip Eno on 05/01/15 at 9:18 am
R&B and soul singer Ben E King, best known for the classic song Stand By Me, has died at the age of 76.
King started his career in the late 1950s with The Drifters, singing on hits including There Goes My Baby and Save The Last Dance For Me.
After going solo, he hit the US top five with Stand By Me in 1961.
It returned to the charts in the 1980s, including a three-week spell at number one in the UK, following its use in the film of the same name and a TV advert.
The song has charted nine times on the US Billboard 100 over the years - King's version twice and seven times with covers by artists like John Lennon and Spyder Turner.

What a fantastic soul singer from the 60's and 70's era, who can't forget "Stand By Me" and "Supernatural Thing"? RIP to Ben E King. :\'(
