Ben E. King: An In Memoriam Tribute

In 2003, American soul and R&B singer Ben E. King (September 28, 1938 – April 30, 2015) sat with Ahmet Ertegun, founder of Atlantic Records, to describe how his album Supernatural (1975) came to be. King sang with The Drifters before his solo career, which was sealed with songs like “Stand By Me” (1960). This clip is from Atlantic Records: The House That Ahmet Built (2007).
