I just heard that Ben E King died yesterday. First Percy Sledge, and now Ben E King.

I always felt that When A Man Loves a Woman, and Stand By Me were the two best songs ever. Gonna miss them both.

RIP Ben E King

The local garage band was playing "Stand by me" last night....most likely knew of his passing

RIP Ben, I was fortunate to see him at the old Academy of Music on 14th street, a great voice is silenced...
