Ben E. King was one of those R&B and soul singers who inspired many other artists of our generation. He is best known for classics like “Stand by Me,” King died at age 76 of natural causes.

Born Benjamin Earl Nelson, he initially joined a doo-wop group called The Five Crowns, which became The Drifters after that group's manager fired the band's previous members. He co-wrote and sang on the band's single There Goes My Baby, which reached number two in the US in 1959.

Six Baltimore police officers have been formally charged with felonies ranging from assault to murder in the death of Freddie Gray. The officers have since posted bail and released.

Gray family members hope the case serves as motivation to reform the way police do their jobs across the country, and they urged members of the public to express themselves peacefully.

US Senator Bernie Sanders from Vermont has announced that he is throwing his hat into the camp pain for the Democratic nomination for president.

Sanders says folks should not underestimate him. The Democratic socialist is a long shot who will bring attention to left-wing issues. He is a 73-year old populist, who is technically, a Democrat. Sanders is the first challenger to Clinton, but he's not going to be the last.

Other possible candidates include former Maryland Governor Martin O’Malley, former Virginia Senator Jim Webb and former Rhode Island Governor Lincoln Chafee.
