"Ben" (often referred to as "Ben's Song") is a song written by Don Black and Walter Scharf for the 1972 film of the same name (a spin-off to the 1971 killer rat film Willard). It was performed by Lee Montgomery in the film and by Michael Jackson over the closing credits. Jackson's single, recorded for the Motown label in 1972, spent one week at the top of the Billboard Hot 100, making it Jackson's first number one single in the US as a solo artist. Billboard ranked it as the number 20 song for 1972. It also reached number 1 on the ARIA Charts, spending eight weeks at the top spot. The song also later reached a peak of number 7 on the UK Singles Chart. In 2004, the song appeared in The Ultimate Collection.

stubass: thanks for the invite (guitar), much appreciated. Want to let you know that it will take me a few days to get it down. I will be learning this one by scratch. If you are okay with +7 days then I'm in. No hard feelings if you need to move on.
stubass Tracks are up. Take a listen and let me know if they are okay. :)
