Ben E. King
Powerful
Legacy
Remembered
(AP) - Ben E. King, the unfor-
gettable lead singer for the Drift-
ers and solo star whose plaintive
baritone graced such pop and
rhythm ‘n blues classics as “Stand
by Me,” ‘’There Goes My Baby”
and “Spanish Harlem,” is being re-
membered after his death Thursday
of natural causes at the age of 76.
King was singing with the Five
Crowns when they were hired in
1958 to become the new incarna-
tion of the Drifters, a top act for
Atlantic Records who had several
doo-wop hits featuring tenor Clyde
McPhatter.
King co-wrote and sang lead on
“There Goes My Baby,” and he and
the Drifters followed with such fa-
vorites as “Save the Last Dance for
Me” and “This Magic Moment,”
romantic and emotional ballads.
He left the Drifters in the early
‘60s but quickly found success on
his own.
