Description
Limited Edition 180g blue coloured vinyl pressing.
A fantastic contribution to the early 60's "sweet soul" which Ben E. King had first helped pioneer as the lead singer of the Drifters before breaking solo. The most obvious highlight is the smooth but heart-felt title track and the mega-classic 'Stand By Me'. Includes four bonus tracks: 'Will You Love Me Tomorrow', 'Sway', 'Amore', and 'Spanish Harlem'.
Description
Ben E King's "Don't Play That Song!" remains an essential piece of the R&B and soul music landscape, showcasing his vocal talent and contributing to the evolution of these genres during the early 1960s. The album continues to be appreciated by soul music enthusiasts and is a testament to King's enduring legacy: his expressive, emotive vocals and the heartfelt themes of the songs set a standard for future generations of soul singers. Third studio album by Ben E King, released in 1962, the record is notable for its fusion of soul, R&B, and doo-wop influences, and it includes some of King's memorable songs as "Don't Play That Song (You Lied)," (written by Ahmet Ertegun and Betty Nelson, top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart) and other noteworthy songs such as "Ecstasy," "On the Horizon," "Young Boy Blues," and "Here Comes the Night."
This release is part of the New Ermitage collection available from January 2024: 18 jazz and soul titles reissued on yellow vinyl with new codes and renewed graphics.
