Ben - Michael Jackson (HD/HQ) 

Ben: Written by Don Black and Walter Scharf
Performer: Michael Jackson
Label: Motown
Year: 1972
Originally written for Donny Osmond, Ben, was offered to Jackson as Osmond was unavailable for recording. Theme song for a 1972 film of the same name (the sequel to the 1971 killer rat movie Willard), spent one week at #1 of the U.S. pop chart.
The song became the first of 19 number-one pop hits for Jackson in the U.S.and his first number-one as a solo artist.
Ben won a Golden Globe for Best Song and was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Original Song in 1973. Jackson performed the song in front of a live audience at the ceremony.
Although Jackson had already become the youngest artist to ever record a number-one ("I Want You Back" with his brothers, The Jackson 5, in 1970), "Ben" made him the third-youngest solo artist, at fourteen, to score a number-one hit single. Only Stevie Wonder, who was thirteen when "Fingertips, Pt. 2" went to number one, and Donny Osmond, who was months shy of his fourteenth birthday when "Go Away Little Girl" hit number one in 1971 were younger.
