BEN E KING: THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES

bek03benekingcut

Hardly a day goes by in our house that we don’t hear a song by Ben E King or The Drifters – that’s how much we love them. And Ben’s voice was magic – sometimes so dramatic and filled with teenage yearning, and sometimes whimsical. Save the Last Dance For Me was our absolute favorite (click HERE to listen) but there was also Spanish Harlem, This Magic Moment, I (Who Have Nothing) etc etc….Ben was fabulous with and without The Drifters. And he retained that VOICE and performed until the very end. Which came way too soon.
