    Hey Mr. Video! I work in the music industry. Mr. Ben E. King was my client. He lived close by in NJ and he came to my office in Times Square so I could help him with something regarding his royalties. I actually met him in December 2014 and he passed in April 2015. He was a wonderful gentleman with a sweet spirit. You should do a live version. Those are much better. This song is about us supporting each other during life's hard times. Thank you again for your spirited review.

    If you want goosebumps listen to When A Man Loves A Woman by Percy Sledge, you will have chills all over your body. If I remember correctly Ben E. King was kicked out of the group The Drifters. He was still friends with the guys in the group and brought them this song but their manager said they didn't need his damn song. Ben E. said fine I'll record it myself and thank God he did, what a masterpiece.

    The other King solo song that he's best known for is "Spanish Harlem". Before he went solo, he was The Drifters' lead singer. When he was with them, their most notable songs were "There Goes My Baby", "This Magic Moment", and "Save the Last Dance for Me". All of these are good songs, very much worth hearing. The Drifters continued to do good songs after he left them: "Up on the Roof", "On Broadway", and "Under the Boardwalk".

    this is the song that makes me cry every time. It's comforting at the soul level. It made me burst into heavy tears when I heard the choir sing this song at Duchess Meghan and Prince Harry's wedding! This was the song they chose to represent their marriage and love! (Prince/Shadow King Charles chose this choir, an all Black choir, because he was a fan of their music.)

    Yeah, you'd better get the chills when Mr Ben E King sings! He's one of the timeless classics. I've heard Lean on Me, A Rose in Spanish Harlem, Save the Last Dance for Me, etc, all my life and never tire of them. If you haven't discovered Johnny Mathis yet, check him out sometime. Smooth, romantic songs like Chances Are and the theme songs from two blockbuster movies, Where Do I Begin (Love Story) and A Time For Us (Romeo and Juliet).

    One of the best songs ever written, there have been over 400 recorded versions of the song, performed by many artists. It was featured on the soundtrack of the 1986 film Stand by Me. It reached twice the top 10 Billboard, first time in 1961 when it was released and the second one in 1986 with the film.
    You can listen to this song hours and hours and never get tired. Good reaction as always, greetings from Spain.
