I hope you enjoy. • ------------------------------------ • Spanish Harlem is a song recorded by Ben E. King in 1960 for Atco Records. It was written by Jerry Leiber and Phil Spector and produced by Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller. Spanish Harlem was King's first hit away from The Drifters, peaking at number 15 on Billboard's rhythm and blues and number 10 in pop music chart. • The song has been covered by a number of artists including Aretha Franklin, whose version reached number two on Billboard's pop chart. The song was ranked number 358 on Rolling Stone's list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time . • Background • Leiber credited Stoller with the arrangement in a 1968 interview; similarly, Leiber said in a 2009 radio interview with Leiber and Stoller on the Bob Edwards Weekend talk show that Stoller had written the key instrumental introduction to the record, although he was not credited. Stoller remarks in the team's autobiography Hound Dog that he had created this fill while doing a piano accompaniment when the song was presented to Ahmet Ertegun and Jerry Wexler at Atlantic Records, with Spector playing guitar and Leiber doing the vocal. Since then, I've never heard the song played without that musical figure. The song was arranged by Stan Applebaum, featuring Spanish guitar, marimba, drum-beats, soprano saxophone, strings, and a male chorus. • The riff to the song was originally conceived by Spector and his then-girlfriend Beverly Ross. She was apparently shocked to discover the same riff a few months later in the version sung by King. • Ben E. King's Spanish Harlem was originally released as the B-side to First Taste of Love . Spanish Harlem was King's first hit away from The Drifters, a group that he had led for several years. It climbed the Billboard charts, and peaked at number 15 for rhythm and blues and number 10 in pop music. King's version was not a hit in the United Kingdom. The song was re-released in 1987, after Stand By Me made number 1. • ------------------------------------ • Source: Wikipedia.org • 🎬Videofootage : • AI generated • 🎸Euipment I used: • Fender Stratocaster guitar • G L Legacy Guitar • Vox AC 15 C1 amp • Stellar X3 microphone • Stanley FX Blue Nebula echo • Focusrite Scarlett Solo interface • 🎵 My music*: • Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3jR0Jmq * • Deezer: https://bit.ly/3MaA54b * • Amazon Music: https://amzn.to/3rQ1QY1 * • Apple Music: https://apple.co/3Pfj1fI * • ❤️ My social links: • Facebook: / ludwig.gitarre • Instagram: / ludwig_guitar • TikTok: / ludwigguitar • Ad/Werbung • #guitarinstrumental #oldiesbutgoodies #spanishharlem
