GEORGE BENSON
George Benson is a bit o a staple diet in my house I first fell in love with this Brothers music in 1981 when a friends mother was playing the song LOVE X LOVE and MOODYS MOOD his voice and guitar playing was simply divine to listen to, and after that I would buy anything the man put out. At the time friends said that GEORGE BENSON wasn’t jazz and he wasn’t soul music either ,but I beg to differ the man was all of the above rapped into one .I always felt sorry for folks who have the smallest of minds that they can only see people how people see them so they always want to label things. GEORGE BENSON in my humble opinion is another benchmark artist who’s music is inspiring and pioneering at the same time he is a master of his craft and when you here ones talk about the man they testify to that .The GIVE ME THE NIGHT set was my introduction as well as THE GEORGE BENSON COLLECTION that sparked my interest .As the years rolled by GEORGE BENSON ventured into mainly back into instrumental music and I was still eager to listen and be blown away by him. The man at one stage was Warner brothers biggest selling artist. He may have left them but the quality of the music still hits peaks in my opinion and when I saw he had a new release a mixture of covers and originals I wasn’t put off af
ter all GEORGE BENSON had covered many a song way back NATURE BOY,MOODY MOOD ,just to name a few and it was doing so that help me find and listen the original artist of the songs and get into there music. GEORGE seems to take a certain kind of care when covering song always giving it the GEORGE BENSON treatment yet keeping the same sort of spirit with that song which makes a listener listen to the song .It would be easy to pick faults with his music but who cares I DON’T!. On the new set songs like SOME DAY WE`LL ALL BE FREE (of which is simply wonderful) also DON’T LE ME BE LONLEY,TELEPHONE CALL AWAY written by bill withers, a killer of a song and performed wonderfully ,people there isn’t a bad track on the set if your GEORGE BENSON fan if not there are plenty songs fro you still to enjoy as GEORGE BENSON prove your never to old to groove. The album is called SONG and STORIES look out forLALAH HATHWAY, BILL WITHERS,LAMONT DOZIER,MARCUS MILLER,ROD TEMPERTON and NORMAN BROWN helping out here as well as a raft of talent that GEORGE BENSON manages to attract.
