Bhumibol Adulyadej (1927–2016), the late King of Thailand, had written more than 49 songs.
The late king also authored English lyrics to five of his songs – "Echo", "Still on My Mind", "Old-Fashioned Melody", "No Moon", and "Dream Island".
They are commonly known as "The Five Love Songs" as they were dedicated to his wife Queen Sirikit.
In 1952, King Bhumibol Adulyadej composed the "Royal Marines March" (Thai: มาร์ชราชนาวิกโยธิน), the official march of the Royal Thai Marine Corps.
It was first performed on 7 June 1959, during the visit of the American 7th Fleet to Thailand.
