History
Ben E. King sang lead on the original version by The Drifters, so that version is already in the databse.
However, Ben E. King did a remake as a solo artist in 1987. It's a single on the EMI Manhattan label and I believe that part of the catalogue number is 50078.
If anyone can provide more info I'd be more than happy to add that version.
