What a beautiful voice! I love this, it's a wonderful cover.

John Benn

I agree 100% Did you see the comment by RaananVolesPianist? What a complete PRICK he must be. I just wonder what the Pianist stands for?

I wouldn't say Ben E. King mumbles, but I WOULD say he doesn't hold his notes. He's a very "staccato" singer.

Mary Lynn Johnson-Kerker

I love Clyde McPhatter one of my favorite singers ever.

Marvin Lateef

I've never heard this version. What a revelation! Thanks to the poster. On the question of mumbling or poor diction, black artists were sometimes asked to slur or mumble in order to sound "soulful". (See interview with Ruby Garnett of Ruby and the Romantics on singing 'Our Day Will Come'. She refused to do so and the music is better for it.) I truly appreciate singers like Clyde McPhatter for their beautiful phrasing and beautiful voices.

John Benn

How you dare to say that Ben E.King mumbles. What a dick-head you must be!

Jenna Page

Beautiful

John Benn

NOT A BAD REPLACEMENT,IF THAT IS CORRECT. BOTH HAVE INCREDIBLE VOICES

John Benn

I AGREE 100%

William Humenansky

Clyde was an original and part owner of the Drifters. Ben E. King was his replacement when Clyde was drafted (my recollection here).
