Question: In what year was the Drifters' only U.S. #1 hit featuring Ben E. King as lead vocalist recorded?
Sentence (from "Ben E. King"): He was perhaps best known as the singer and co-composer of "Stand by Me"— a US Top 10 hit, both in 1961 and later in 1986 (when it was used as the theme to the film of the same name), a number one hit in the UK in 1987, and no. 25 on the RIAA's list of Songs of the Century—and as one of the principal lead singers of the R&B vocal group the Drifters notably singing the lead vocals of one of their biggest global hit singles (and only U.S. #1 hit) "Save the Last Dance for Me".
Relevant evidence: Yes
