    RIP Ben E. King

    The great Ben E. King passed away at the age of 76. Lead singer for The Drifters with hits like 'Under The Boardwalk' , 'Spanish Harlem' , 'Up On The Roof' and so many more. One of the greatest songs ever IMHO was his first solo hit after he left The Drifters... 'Stand By Me'. Such an amazing voice:
    "When not too many people can see we're all the same
    And because of all their tears,
    Their eyes can't hope to see
    The beauty that surrounds them
    Isn't it a pity".

    - "Isn't It A Pity"
    By George Harrison

          Much sadness. One of the greatest voices in Motown, not to mention musical, history has been silenced. But his voice has been added to the heavenly choir upstairs. RIP, Mr. King. Man, I bet there's a jam session going on up there like none of us would believe!
          sigpic Oh then, what's this? Big flashy lighty thing, that's what brought me here! Big flashy lighty things have got me written all over them. Not actually. But give me time. And a crayon.
