Ben E. King will be forever known as one of the original classic soul pioneers like Ray Charles, Otis Redding and Wilson Pickett who had a knack of creating infectious hit recordings drenched in gospel, soul, rock and pop. Along with legendary producers like Jerry Wexler. Jerry Leiber, Mike Stoller, Ahmet Ertegun and himself, the "Ben E. King" brand created some of the greatest sides ever for ATCO Records and the record buying public.

This stunning array of his top charters includes his worldwide smashes "Stand By Me" "Amor" "What Now My Love" "I (Who Have Nothing) and "Spanish Harlem."
