"Supernatural Thing" then i remembered the "Benny & US" 1977 lp with AWB.

C'mon now, to give him all the love he deserves, you have to include these.

With The Drifters...
There Goes My Baby
This Magic Moment
Save The Last Dance for Me



Solo...
Spanish Harlem
Stand By Me
Don't Play That Song

Hey, no bad at all my friend.
I just included those tunes for those that may not know.
Actually it's my bad for not including I Who Have Nothing. doh!

Supernatural Thing is a cool tune. Always dug the guitar parts.

Your love, your love. nod

I have The Very Best Of Ben E. King, a Rhino collection which spans his entire career (from The Drifters to Supernatural Thing Pt. 1 and Do It In The Name Of Love). He has a fabulous voice, and the CD is sublime. You put it on when you want to relax and flake out. It's so damn good that you can't really pick favorites, although I do have a special appreciation of the delicate touch of "Spanish Harlem" and the absolute classic poignancy of "Stand By Me" (one of those perfect songs that will never die).

lol no no no! You can't use "borrowing", because you're speaking of a time when "borrowing" was still considered "stealing" wink

Yeah,that was strange,wasn't it? lol


a little trivia about this song: Carlos Santana loves this song,and he's been playing it during many of his shows since the mid-90s.In 1999,when he signed with Arista Records,the plan was to record a cover version which would also serve as the album's title.Unfortunately,the cover version didn't make the album,but they kept the word "supernatural" as the album's title.

In 2002,when he was recording the 'Shaman' album,he once again planned to record a cover version.This time,it was to be sung by Macy Gray.But it didn't make the album.So hopefully,one day,he will finally get to re-make this song,lol.
