Singer Ben E. King turns 74 today.  King racked up several big hits as part of The Drifters (“There Goes My Baby,” “Save The Last Dance For Me”).  But he is probably best known as the singer and co-composer of “Stand By Me”–a song that was used in the soundtrack and title of a classic coming-of-age film.
