Singer Ben E. King (Benjamin Earl Nelson) is perhaps best known as
the singer and co-composer of "Stand by Me," a Top 10 hit in both
1961 and 1986. King is one of the principal lead singers of the R&B
vocal group The Drifters. Several splinter groups continue to perform
today.
Stand by Me is a 1986 Rob Reiner coming of age drama filmed
in Oregon. The movie takes its title from the Ben E. King song
which plays over the end credits.
