The Solo Sessions 1960–62 brings together the
definitive early recordings of Ben E King, one of
soul music’s most iconic and expressive voices.
After rising to fame with The Drifters, King
carved out a remarkable solo career beginning in
1960, blending sophisticated pop-soul, Latin-
tinged arrangements and deep emotional
warmth. This collection showcases the very best
of that formative period, capturing the sound
that set him apart as a true pioneer of early soul.
Featuring timeless classics such as “Spanish
Harlem,” “Stand By Me,” and “Don’t Play That
Song (You Lied),” the LP also includes standout
album cuts and fan favourites like “Ecstasy,”
“Young Boy Blues,” “The Hermit of Misty
Mountain,” and “Walking in the Footsteps of a
Fool.” Together, these tracks highlight King’s
effortless vocal charm and his unique ability to
deliver both tender ballads and powerful pop-
soul performances.
This beautifully sequenced collection is essential
for soul collectors, vinyl enthusiasts, and new
listeners discovering Ben E King’s enduring
legacy. A perfect snapshot of one of the most
important voices of the early 1960s.
