There is a link to his most famous song Stand By Me above.

When he was with The Drifters he first sang Save The Last Dance For Me in 1960 -

He has an album of the same name released in 1987 with the song re-recorded -

.....and as we know, Leonard has covered that song over the last few years.

RIP Ben E

I always loved Stand by Me. (Still will.) I never knew who was the singer. I never thought about it either, just listening to the song and enjoying it when the turns of life put it on my way. I guess that it is never too late to learn. I would like to put at least one flower on his grave.
