1119 Ben E. King - Don't Play That Song (You Lied)

Had this one running through my mind for a bit this morning; I figured that it would make an excellent song choice for my Sunday pick. Immediately most would recognize that much of this track's sound was borrowed from his hit Stand By Me, which can be found here on YouTube. It also appears on this album as well, however, Stand By Me preceded this album; it was recorded in another session and released as a single before the album's release.
From what I understand there was supposedly a song written as an answer to this song by Pat Lundy titled Play it Again, which can be found here on YouTube.

Here is the studio version on YouTube.
