Another EXCELLENT George Album LOVE IT!!!!! Been listening to this for over 20 years and its still a favourite. AWESOME!!!!! This album is a winner.
My favorite Benson recording
There's substantial musical value on this album. Don't listen to the haters. Love the 80s DX synths, and great songwriting, melodically and harmonically. If someone can provide a legitimate critique of the actual songwriting and production on this album, I'm all ears. Until then, it's my favorite Benson--even more than "Breezin'" or "Bad Benson. " If you're not afraid to admit you like stuff that other people think is "cheesy," please buy this. The opening track alone is worth it--I'll never forget the first time I heard it. In fact, I like all the songs except the throwback "Beyond the Sea," which is actually the one track the haters seem to like the most, steeped in traditional jazz and arrangement techniques as it is. To me, it is the worst track on the album, in the sense that it is completely out of place in the midst of all the other mid-80s awesomeness.
Highly, highly recommended, especially for those who understand and appreciate jazz but aren't snobs who only want acoustic instruments and "swinging. " .
cool benson
His music is very nice. This is a talented man--able to play the guitar, as well as a beautiful singing voice.
20/20 Love Sensation
This cd contains light rock with jazz tinged playing and sensual vocals. George Benson's 20/20 is a strong solid affair.
Every song on here rocks me to my core. My Faves are: No One Emotion, I Just Want To Hang Around U, Nothing's Gonna Change My Love For You, 20/20 & New Day. Actually, I enjoy the entire album. Now for the person who did not like this cd should keep their mouth shut. I am totally offended by their lack of sensitivity, not to mention their lack of musical knowledge.
George Benson is an innovative artist and because he changes his style, people start hating. Shame! Grade: A++++++++++++++.
George, you are so smooth...
I ruined the first cd I had and lost my mind. My father got me listening to George Benson and this is my favorite album. This album is special. It eases tension, it sets the mood and even at work, it's light and right. So now that I have it in my collection again, I'm taking great care of it because I've missed it so much.
