Ben E. King, singer of some of R&B's most classic songs, has died at the age of 76, Billboard has confirmed.
Over his career, King had 21 songs crack the Billboard Hot 100, most notably the iconic 1961 single "Stand By Me." The U.S. Library of Congress added the classic to the National Recording Registry earlier this year, saying, "It was King's incandescent vocal that made it a classic". The singer had two other hits -- "Spanish Harlem" and "Supernatural Thing - Part I" -- crack the top 10 of the Hot 100.
King was born September 23, 1938 in Henderson, NC and moved with his family to Harlem in 1947. He lent his baritone to the Drifters in the late '50s before going solo.
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee's last album was 2006's I've Been Around.
