Non-notable singer and I haven't found any sufficient and reliable sources to support this article. I found event listings here and here. Billboard suggests he may never have charted. Although the article's Billboard link would be acceptable, it only mentions three songs. Considering that the article contained one Google Books link, I thought I'd search for others but I only found Billboard song listings that weren't useful. The nearest to a chart listing is this February 1968 issue of Billboard where it was predicted that a song would chart, but there is no evidence to show that it successfully charted. Additionally, the Billboard profile for The Maze (co-performers of that song) shows they may have only released one album. This may be another case of a lesser known 1960s-1970s singer who received little coverage. SwisterTwister talk 00:37, 29 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per WP:N; I haven't found anything on him that would meet the notability requirements for a musician. EWikist^Talk 00:51, 29 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, following Swister's nomination. Before proposing the article for deletion, I checked 'Benny Troy' and 'Benjamin LaManna' and couldn't identify any material to satisfy WP:MUSICBIO or W:GNG. Mephistophelian (talk) 23:31, 30 August 2012 (UTC).[reply]
