Ben Aiken was an American soul singer, best known for his 1965 single "Satisfied." His emotive vocal style, laden with gospel influences, was typical of the mid-1960s soul and R&B scene. Aiken's contribution to the Philadelphia soul sound, a subgenre of soul music characterized by lush instrumental arrangements and smooth vocal lines, was significant. Despite a relatively short recording career, his distinctive sound and influence can be traced in the work of subsequent soul and R&B artists.
