Go Skins Posted May 1, 2015 Report Share Posted May 1, 2015 http://www.tmz.com/2015/05/01/ben-e-king-dead-stand-by-me-singer-dies/ Soul singer Ben E. King -- most famous for his classic, "Stand By Me" -- died on Thursday ... according to his publicist. King reportedly died at his home in New Jersey after suffering a heart ailment. He was 76 years old. King's mega hit song made it to Billboard's top five in 1961 -- but "Stand By Me" returned to the charts in the 80s. It was also covered several times by other artists ... including John Lennon ... and made the charts 9 times. He started his career with the Drifters in the 50s and had hits like "Save the Last Dance for Me" and "There Goes My Baby." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
