Ben E King's "Stand By Me"
-Ben E King was one of the principle lead singers of the legendary R&B group "The Drifters"
- "There Goes My Baby"
- "Save The Last Dance For Me"
- The song is inspired by a traditional Gospel song of the same name, originally composed by Charles A. Tindley in 1905.
- According to the documentary History of Rock 'n' Roll, King had no intention of recording the song himself when he wrote it. King had written the song for The Drifters, who passed on the chance to record it.
Here's one for you people stuck in the 60's and 70's... Perhaps this one will get more attention than Simple Plan (Or as Aggy calls them "A Simple Plan"), because Ben E King is a much older and much more popular musician than Simple Plan.
I would not have suspected this song to appear in this project. I really thought you were going to stick with more recent tunes, but now I am getting the gist of your methods (I don't have Karaoke Revolution home, nor am I very familiar with it).
I'm not going to have the time to write it because I'll be spending the next week busy in the desert of California with limited internet access. But I offer to anyone the following title sub.
" Banned by 'G' " (as in Chucky G) as a parody about either past banned parodists (like Linda Terhune) or perhaps soon-to-be-banned parodist Dr Music.
Those aren't your lyrics Dave... That's the main page about Ben E King.
The other two links are correct (wheew) how do I do that--I didn't even go to the Ben E King Page.
