For George Benson the Tenor


However, I love to hear his beautiful clear voice ring out full of emotion and tenderness. Granted, along with earl Klugh, and Wes Montgomery, George Benson is one of the finest Jazz Musicians to ever pick up a guitar. That's why I love this collection of George Benson Vocals. Sometimes you are in the mood for instrumentals, but sometimes you just want to sing along. Included in this collection is one of my personal favorites, the melancholy ballad, "Everything Must Change" from his album "In Flight". I always used to play it last when I would D J a dance back in the day, thinking every time this could be the last time I'd do this, have this much fun etc. And many of these songs have that kind of memories. It's hard to feel that way about an instrumental, no matter how good.

Excellent CD
But most of it is on Tape and this is my 2nd George Benson CD. I am a big fan of George Benson and own most of his Audio collection. In my country (India) we don't get George Benson CD's so I was searching for one on the Internet and got it in Amazon. I love this CD, its one of the best George Benson Collection to own. The quality of recording is very good which cannot be compared to Audio Tapes. Great CD Highly recommended.

Now that I a mother of three I truly enjoy listing to his music and appreciate it's contents. As a child growing up in California my mother listen to George Benson. When I'm driving in my car his music takes me to another level of accomplishment, I feel as if there isn't anything in life that I can't accomplish for myself, that's why I enjoy listening to his music it's moving and healing for the soul. So keep up the wonderful work George Benson and I'll keep listening and buying.

Thank you,

Vocal side of Benson
He is a great vocalist and a guitar player, this cd is very good to catch the vocals. This cd definitely catches George Bensons vocal talent more anything else.


George Benson Gives Us the Night.
This hits collection compiles his vocal work, and track after track, it took me back to the glory years of the 1970s and 1980s. A supremely talented guitarist and an impressive vocalist, George Benson is one of the most influential and respected musicians in jazz/r&b. Classics include the Quincy Jones-produced "Give Me the Night," the catchy "Turn Your Love Around," a live rendition of "On Broadway," and the memorable "Lady Love Me. " There is not one mediocre song on this set, showing the consistency of Benson's work. Granted, there are jazz musicians guilty of delivering schmaltzy elevator "muzak," but George gives us the real deal. When he sings "give me the night," we have no choice but to honor his request. George Benson is the man!.
