Indeed, his song Stand By Me also has the distinction of being one of 25 recordings per year chosen by the U.S. Library of Congress National Recording Preservation Board for their preservation library.

another of his songs I never knew was his is Spanish Harlem which was covered on one of my very early Herb Alpert and the Tiajuana Brass LP's as well as other artistes later covering it too. Used to love their Mexican Mariachi trumpet sound.

Apparently that song 'Stand By Me' was covered by 400 artistes Paul.

Those of us of a certain age will remember Ben E King as part of our growing up, our courting, our life. He will be missed for sure.

The passing of B.B.King is another signal of my advancing age. It’s an age when my “heroes” are now dying due to their number of years on this mortal coil, rather than life’s excesses, ‘plane / car crashes and recklessness. The last couple of years have taken quite a few good old boys and girls who have brought me a whole lot of pleasure, this seemingly being something of an extra rich vein being cut off. Lucille is now silent.
