专辑简介
There is a lot more to Ben E. King than just his seemingly one hit wonder "Stand By Me". Of the many collections of Ben E. King, this one from Rhino is the best one.I´ll admit, I wasn´t expecting much more than just a great remastered recording of "Stand By Me", and "I (Who Have Nothing)". This collection even jumped to the seventies and included Ben E. King´s (probably forgotten), Top Ten Hit "Supernatural Thing". I cherished the radio religiously during the early to mid seventies, so having this one Ben E. King seventies hit is a real treat. (It was also in Rhino´s "Didn´t it Blow Your Mind: Super Hits of the 1970´s" collection.)
But, what makes this "Very Best of Ben E. King" collection so much better is that it includes Ben´s first few hits with The Drifters before he went solo. Plus, if you didn´t know, Ben E. King recorded the original hits of "Spanish Harlem" and "Don´t Play that Song (You Lied)", later made into bigger hits by Aretha Franklin.
Some of Ben´s more crooner styled recordings were his songs "On the Horizon" and "Amor" which became my most favorite songs on this CD. However, I could do without "How Can I Forget".
Rhino Records, once again, proves to be the leader in releasing the best, "Best of..." CD collections.
