Very Benson
All his best songs and it stays within his own style. Just what I was looking for in a George Benson cd.


cut-off This Masquerade really blows!
the recording is good, but i was pretty upset the first track- This Masquerade was brutaly cut short!! Way short! What a rip!.


Love, Love LOVE this album
This is IT! I love this album. I was looking for some good music to listen to in my new convertble VW. It is fun and none offensive to others that may overhear when I stop at a light. I highly recommend it.


TJ's Review
Every song on this album will blow you away. George Benson is Soooooo good. The Man is a master. Buy it, snatch it up. Do not miss out !!!!!!.


Who am I doing now?
His vocal on Leon Russell's "This Masquerade" for example is a Stevie Wonder impression. Scat singing George Benson often performed other people's songs in other people's voices. Although "Give Me The Night" isn't a cover, George is clearly doing his best Lionel Richie here. And is that a touch of Michael Jackson creeping into "20/20"?

Benson is at his best with instrumentals, particularly "Being With You," a song that showcases his abilities. Even when playing however, George is occasionally imitating. The "Breezin'" guitar sounds very much like Wes Montgomery, while "On Broadway" is reminiscent of the guitarwork from "Shaft. "

Maybe this should be called THE GREATEST IMITATIONS OF ALL. (3½ stars)

TOTAL RUNNING TIME -- 76:51.
