Stand By Me - A Tribute To My Father, Ben E. King

On the heels of the song's performance at Prince Harry and Meghan, Duchess of Sussex's royal wedding, the recording of "Stand By Me" was 6 months in the making. Who could have known that these two spectacular events would occur simultaneously. In conjunction with Society Hill, we are proud to release the definitive 21st century version of "Stand By Me", by the heir to the Ben E. King throne... his son, Sonofa. Originally recorded in 1960 by legendary singer-songwriter Ben E. King, "Stand By Me" has been covered by more than 400 artists, from Otis Redding to John Lennon to Tracy Chapman. In 2012 it was estimated that the song's royalties had topped $US 22.8 million, making it the sixth highest-earning song at that time. Then in 2015 King's original version was inducted into the National Recording Registry by the Library of Congress, as "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant", just under five weeks before his death. Later in the year, the 2015 lineup of The Drifters recorded it, in tribute to King. Performing professionally since the age of 8, Sonofa King continues to share his inherent talents with the world, and to fully embrace the legacy of being the son of a King with the release of his new album: "Stand By Me - A Tribute To My Father".
