R.I.P Ben E King
R.I.P Ben E King, former lead singer of the Drifters, who, during his
solo career, performed a song, "Stand by Me," which became a musical
anthem that helped define the optimistic spirit of Rock and Roll for
young people in every part of the nation. There is no one I know who
grew up in the 50's and early 60's who doesn't know the words of that
song, and who won't start singing it when it comes on the radio or is
played at a wedding, a party or a school event. To me, it harks
back to a time better than our own, when the wealth of the nation was
more evenly distributed, when romance was something aspired to, not
mocked, and when many of us believed, perhaps naively that we could
overcome racism and create a more just society. Ben E King, with that
song, created a moral guidepost for us, an exemplar of hope for both
personal relationships and social uplift, that we would carry with us
for the rest of our lives. He will be missed, but the song will live on,
and so will the hopes it inspired, even in this sometimes grim
political climate
