Ben E. King RIIP and Thomas Del Ruth

The Deaths in 215 site lists under April 30:
Ben E. King, 76, American soul and R&B singer ("Stand by Me"), coronary heart disease
Two things stand out, first his surname is an addition to the recent "King/Royalty/Leaders..." Pattern-cluster, and second is the song --"Stand By Me" being a favourite, especially when Grandpa Elliot (For Change) sings it.  Note from the Ben E. King's wiki page:
singer and co-composer of "Stand by Me"—a US Top 10 hit, both in 1961 and later in 1986 (when it was used as the theme to the film of the same name)
So going to the films wiki page note the following:
Based on the novella The Body, written by Stephen King
So another addition to the "King..." pattern-cluster.

Now going to the films wiki page I checked out the notable persons mentioned in the side bar at right, one name stands out above the others:
CinematographyThomas Del Ruth
Because his name Thomas means "twin" in origin, a particular trade mark signature of the inner twin world.  Note from Thomas' wiki page: 
Thomas Del RuthASC is an American cinematographer. He was born on May 1, 1942
Today is May 1st... so  Ben E. King died one day before Thomas Del Ruth's birthday!!
