    "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.

    9-17-26 - Drum track added. Also noted a variety of Finger Snaps in the Backing Track. Embedded Finger Snaps in the Drum mix to match exactly like the original. Did a rough mix and published for you also Stu. 9:45pm PST

    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: I uploaded a track, I got the alignment pretty close but I am new to this and very raw.....I will also want to do a more polished version. Please advise.

    LoLoVoz: Thank you, Lolo. Well done! Just a question: The singer in the BT has a small run before he gets into the lyrics. Did you intend on leaving it out? Either way is fine. Btw, i don't have an acoustic guitarist lined up. Can you ask your cousin one more time? --TIA

    @stubass: Hey Stu, I left the run out on purpose. I tried it a few times and it didn't come across the same way and I didn't like it. Cudgebass is still not available for the guitar. Sorry
