I only saw him once (at the Upper Cut club in East London) but it was enough to convert me from general music lover to Soul Fan. So sad to hear this news. RIP Ben

R.I.P. Ben will be sorely missed.

Some real sick feckers out there….The hoax earlier this week and now everyone is reporting it to be true….I hope not.

Wonderful soul singer and he could write a good song too.

The Drifters made some fantastic music with Ben on lead, and made some fantastic music as a solo artist.

A true legend of soul music.

Sad day RIP Sir

A real legacy, left for us all to enjoy, he will be sadly missed, R.I.P  brother, as you said in song, WHAT MORE CAN A MAN DO  , In your case nothing more, deepest sympathy to family and friends. KTF and godbless.

Lovely old man. Met him during his last tour. A true legend. RIP

I met him & Johnny Moore in the 80s after a gig at HMS Collingwood. I told him what my favourite track was and he said he loved it too. Very apt for today. RIP Ben.

Rest in peace, Ben E King

Ben E King has left us a wonderful legacy of music. Impossible to pick favourites, just so many great tracks.

RIP Ben, thank you for the music.

Best Live Act Ever, my fave Benny track "Ecstacy" From 1962. Gracias MrKing for all the pleasure your music will continue to bring me !

R.I.P

Was in the Stefan Dee's Soul Lodge on Sunday chillin' and listening to local soul singer Cy Benson, spotted me singing (????) along to his current rendition and invited me up to join him on stage, yep, you've guessed it..........................Ben E Kings  " Stand By Me" ............................ then his sad demise, gone, but for me certainly not forgotten. 

I can't break the news to myself, what an uplifting sound this is musically, one that I always enjoy hearing when out - it's what soul music is all about
