Dont Play That Song' is a fantastic contribution to the early '60s 'sweet soul' which Ben E. King had first helped pioneer as the lead singer of the Drifters before breaking solo. The most obvious highlight is the smooth but heart-felt title track and the mega-classic 'Stand By Me'. Includes four bonus tracks: 'Will You Love Me Tomorrow', 'Sway', 'Amore', and 'Spanish Harlem'.
