Pretty interesting that the movie about a group of coming of age kids searching for a dead body spawned such a soulful song.

RIP

I wonder who he left "Lucille" to?

I always thought BB would go before Ben E. Not looking forward to that day at all.

BB had a great life, and I'mma let you finish, but Freddy was the best King of them all!

Just found out he was the lead singer of the Drifters. I'll be dipped. No one hit wonder, that one.

"Great" is word used way too often.

That is a GREAT song.
