"BEN" [STORY] :

Osmond would later be quoted in the Huffington Post about the song:

~ Well, [interestingly] ”Ben” was written for me.
Michael and I would talk about this all the time. It’s funny, because we eventually ended up laughing at this one. I will never forget, we stayed up to like two in the morning, laughing about the fact that I had a hit about a puppy and he had a hit about a rat. ~

What have the artists said about the song?

At his 2007 induction in the Songwriters Hall Of Fame, songwriter Don Black said of “Ben”:

~ When it came to writing about a rat, I said, ‘You can’t write about a rat.’ I mean, I’m not going to use words like ‘cheese.’ I thought the best thing to do is write about friendship. ~

"BEN" INFORMATION :

“Ben” is a song lyrically written by Don Black (music by Walter Scharf) about the subject – a boy and his pet rat – of the 1972 film Ben for its soundtrack. It was originally intended for Donny Osmond, but since he was on tour at the time the song was instead recorded by a 14 year old Michael Jackson, only a few months older than Osmond. It was the first of many solo #1 songs for the future King of Pop – and his second album was entitled after the song. It became the only single to come from that album.
“Ben” won a Golden Globe Award for Best Original Song, and lost in the same category at the 1973 Oscars – a ceremony Jackson performed the song at. It became a live favorite early in Jackson’s career, and a rendition was included on his compilation album Number Ones.
