Ben E. King Although Ben E King was on the way to establishing himself as a solo artist, Leiber and Stoller, producers of the Drifters called him in to sing lead on another huge record, "This Magic Moment". Ahmet was there because he was involved in the whole history of the music and the label but Ben E. King was of special interest to this crew because a reissue single of "Stand By Me", powered by the film of the same name, had blasted into the top 10 of the billboard pop chart!

The Drifters - Wikipedia Ben Nelson was particularly unhappy with his share of the profits, and left to launch a solo career under the name Ben E. King[?]. There were a few minor British hits, and a brief revival of the name for an essentially unrelated disco group in the latter part of the decade, and the confusion continued into the 1980s when even Ben E. King returned to lead a touring line-up. The new line-up was led by Charlie Thomas[?], and also included Dock Green[?] (baritone), Elsbeary Hobbs[?] (bass) and Ben Nelson[?] (baritone). www.web-dictionary.org /encyclopedia/dr/Drifters.html   (190 words)

CMT.com : Ben E. King : Biography King was born Benjamin Earl Nelson in Henderson, NC, in 1938, and sang with his church choir before the family moved to Harlem in 1947. While he was unable to duplicate that single's success, King recorded several more albums for Atlantic up through 1981, and also collaborated with the Average White Band in 1977 on the album Benny & Us. King's plaintive baritone had all the passion of gospel, but the settings in which it was displayed were tailored more for his honey smooth phrasing and crisp enunciation, proving for perhaps the first time that R&B could be sophisticated and accessible to straight pop audiences. www.cmt.com /artists/az/king_ben_e_/bio.jhtml   (190 words)

Ben E King Ben E King came to prominence as lead singer with the Drifters when ‘There Goes My Baby’ took both US RandB and pop charts by storm and very nearly became an international hit. King’s next step was to reinvent the Drifters, something that up he had also avoided, though he had written for the Drapers and appeared (for one or two events only) with the group that became Charlie Thomas and the Drifters in the past. Ben’s earliest solo singles didn’t take but after he linked up with Leiber and Stoller ‘Spanish Harlem’ hit the US top ten and though popular in the UK the flipside ‘First Taste Of Love’ was preferred and became his first British hit. www.soulmusichq.com /artists/king.htm   (190 words)

Born Benjamin Earl Nelson but known as Ben E King by the time he achieved fame as lead singer of the Drifters, Ben did not have many big solo hits but he nevertheless made an important contribution to popular music.

Guardian Unlimited Arts news Chris Curtis He was also a fine singer, able to carry the lead vocal on Ben E King's Stand By Me and to supply the distinctive top harmony in the band's vocal mix. But by the spring of 1966, Curtis began to find that the glamour of being a member of Liverpool's "second most popular group" was being outweighed by the drudgery of their touring and recording schedule. The band were renowned for intricate vocal arrangements and distinctive guitar parts, but Curtis's innovative drum parts and willingness to experiment with bongos, cowbells and castanets added extra intrigue to their sound. www.guardian.co.uk /arts/news/obituary/0,12723,1428937,00.html?gusrc=rss   (218 words)
