Best known for Stand By Me.

RIP

I love that song! I thought he was already dead though

"Stand By Me" is obviously a classic, but my favourite Ben E King song is "Spanish Harlem".

Great artist.

RIP.

RIP Ben E......

Another great song of his......'Don't Play That Song'

to be fair though Aretha Franklin later nailed it.......

Very sad news about a soul legend. Condolences to his family and friends, may he rest in peace.

I actually met him. Nice man, didn't want too much fuss.

I'm just thinking right now that we lost Percy Sledger and now it is him.

RIP Benny. We'll always stand by you.
