Ben E. King, the legendary soul singer best known for his classic "Stand By Me," died Thursday of natural causes. He was 76... After a stint with the doo-wop group the Five Crowns, the North Carolina-born, Harlem-raised King and his Five Crowns mates were hired to become the new faction of #theDrifters. In King's yearlong tenure with the group, he sang lead on the Drifters' biggest singles, including "This Magic Moment," "Save the Last Dance for Me" and "There Goes My Baby." It was with the Drifters that King earned an induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1988. "Ben E. King was this younger singer just coming up, yet he had this mature style that was so unusual. He was always wonderful to work with, and we had a truly great run together," Leiber & Stoller said of King for Rolling Stone's 100 Greatest Artists of All Time, which featured the Drifters. "People have said that 'There Goes My Baby' was a very influential record because it helped set the stage for the Wall of Sound and Motown. Who are we to argue?” #BenEKing
