Welcome to Birthday Thursdays here in The Rhythm Section. Each week I will feature someone from the world of music whose birthday falls on that day. There won’t be any chit chat from me, no facts and figures – just some great tunes (and an occasional surprise). Check it out right here every Thursday and enjoy the music.
Happy Birthday to Ben E. King
Born September 28, 1938 in Henderson, North Carolina

I’d forgotten just how great those songs were!

Aren’t they? The Drifters were among the earliest groups I remember as a kid. Wonderful stuff!

Seriously, you can’t get any better than BB King. I’m torturing Stand By Me currently 🙂

On behalf of everyone here at Birthday Thursdays (me), sincere thanks for not giving us a demonstration. 😂
It’s a process, Deb; you’ll get it.
Morning!

I can’t even count the times Spanish Harlem has soundtracked a movie scene.

That’s a sign of a really good tune that never fades, never ages.
Morning, Nick.
