Saudades de Ben E. King...
Stand by me - Ben E. King
When the night has come
And the land is dark
And the moon is the only light we'll see
No I won't be afraid, no I won't be afraid
Just as long as you stand, stand by me
And darlin', darlin', stand by me, oh now now stand by me
Stand by me, stand by me
If the sky that we look upon
Should tumble and fall
And the mountains should crumble to the sea
I won't cry, I won't cry, no I won't shed a tear
Just as long as you stand, stand by me
And darlin', darlin', stand by me, oh stand by me
Stand by me, stand by me, stand by me-e, yeah
Whenever you're in trouble won't you stand by me, oh now now stand by me
Oh stand by me, stand by me, stand by me
Darlin', darlin', stand by me-e, stand by me
Oh stand by me, stand by me, stand by me

Ben E. King nasceu há 85 anos...
Ben E. King começou como cantor de soul no início dos anos 60. Em 1958, Ben Nelson juntou-se a um grupo de "doo wop" chamado "The Five Crowns". Mais tarde, naquele ano, o agente do "The Drifters" despediu todos os membros e trocou-os pelos membros dos "The Five Crowns". Nelson ajudou a escrever "There Goes My Baby", o primeiro sucesso dessa nova versão dos "The Drifters". Também fez o vocal solo em "Save the Last Dance for Me", uma canção escrita por Doc Pomus e Mort Shuman. Cantou, também, em "Dance With Me", "This Magic Moment", "I Count the Tears" e "Lonely Winds". Ben E. King gravou dez canções com os "The Drifters".
Em 1960, ele deixou os "The Drifters" após não ter conseguido um aumento de salário. Neste ponto ele assumiu o nome de Ben E. King, em preparação para a carreira a solo. Permanecendo na Atlantic Records, King acertou no seu primeiro sucesso com estilo: a balada "Spanish Harlem" (1961). "Stand by Me" foi a sua próxima gravação. Escrita por King junto com Jerry Leiber e Mike Stoller, "Stand by Me" foi votada com uma das Canções do Século pela "Recording Industry Association of America".
"Stand by Me" e "Spanish Harlem" foram nomeadas como duas das "500 Canções que Moldaram o Rock and Roll" pelo "Rock and Roll Hall of Fame" e, ambas, ganharam um "Grammy Hall of Fame Award".
Os seus outros clássicos são "Don't Play That Song (You Lied)" (que foi regravada por Aretha Franklin), "Love", "Seven Letters", "How Can I Forget", "On the Horizon", "Young Boy Blues", e outras.
As gravações de King continuaram indo bem até 1964. As bandas pop inglesas começaram então a dominar o cenário musical, mas King continuou a fazer sucesso no "R&B". No verão de 1963, Ben E. King colocou uma canção entre as 30 mais: a poderosa "I (Who Have Nothing)", (que até os Status Quo regravaram). Outros sucessos foram: "What is Soul?" (1967), "Supernatural Thing, part 1" (1975), e a reedição, em 1986, de "Stand by Me", que foi parte da banda sonora do filme com o mesmo nome, chamado, no Brasil, de "Conta Comigo" (filme baseado no conto "The Body" de Stephen King).
Em 1998, gravou um álbum infantil intitulado "I Have Songs In My Pocket", escrito e produzido por Bobby Susser, o qual ganhou um prémio "Best Vacation Products Award For Children". Em 2007, King apresentou "Stand By Me" no programa "Late Show with David Letterman". Ahmet Ertegün disse que King tem uma das grandes vozes na história do soul.
Até à sua morte, King trabalhou na sua fundação: a "Stand By Me Foundation".
Morte
Ben E. King morreu no dia 30 de abril de 2015, aos 76 anos, de doença arterial coronária.
Stand by me - Ben E. King
When the night has come
And the land is dark

Should tumble and fall
And the mountains should crumble to the sea

Just as long as you stand, stand by me
And darlin', darlin', stand by me, oh stand by me
Stand by me, stand by me, stand by me-e, yeah
