5.0 out of 5 stars What a sound!!, September 18, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: The Ultimate Collection: Stand by Me/Best of Ben E. King/Ben E. King with the Drifters (Audio CD)
I have long been a Drifters fan and admired Ben E. King when he was their lead singer; but I never really appreciated his talents until I heard this album. Ben E. King is truly a soulful singer, and many of the songs on this album will have you wondering why he hasn't been more appreciated. If you like Jerry Butler, the Drifters, Jackie Wilson or Clyde McPhatter, then you will have to like this album. Wish I had found it years ago!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Good but Routine, October 1, 2004
This review is from: The Ultimate Collection: Stand by Me/Best of Ben E. King/Ben E. King with the Drifters (Audio CD)
There are clearly some memorable songs on this CD but there are at least 6 tunes that are "covers" and were done originally by other artists whom you think of when you hear them. Try the CD, "Very Best of Ben E. King". Those songs belong only to him.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Ben E King compilation by far!, June 16, 2007
This review is from: The Ultimate Collection: Stand by Me/Best of Ben E. King/Ben E. King with the Drifters (Audio CD)
Here we have all the hits + the 3 big Drifters' hits when Ben was their
leadsinger. After the first Drifters success Ben received a ridiculous
500 $ "salary" and he decided he'd better be off by himself. Before
leaving in 1960 he recorded 3 more songs as leader of the Drifters
that became huge hits (Save the Last Dance, I Count the Tears and This
Magic Moment)Then as a solo singer he recorded Stand By Me in 1961 and
the rest is history. This song is considered as one of the greatest
in music history. The reason why I consider this the best compilation
ever is because of the sound quality. All songs are in full stereo and
I just don't understand why other Drifters and Ben E King compilations
are rather bad mono recordings. Hearing all these wonderful hits in
full stereo make the other compilations worthless.
Highly recommendable!
