It's such a blessing to see George Benson still with us and kickin' it as good as ever. Always a favorite of mine for many years. May God keep him safe and healthy for many more years to come. Love you,George!
I actually attended High School with George Benson's half sister in Penn Hills PA. I told her my late Father used to play gigs with George Benson. My Dad was a Alto Saxophone Player. I just wanted to say Hi to the Benson family.
This guy is classy and refined. Can listen to him all day. Seen him at the Hollywood Bowl in LA. Justify as good in person. He is one phenomemal musician. I love it! Please keep playing that guitar and giving your fans the honor of your presence. Bless you Mr. Benson. 🎶🎼💗💞
Georg is one of one. Luckily Dizzy Gillespie and Sarah Vaughn and Nat also where . You understand me, I presume...? Etcetera. and also : etcetera, more greats ! yo ?
This generation can't understand the influence George had on many of us growing up.... This man is a living myth, a legend... Words fail me on appellations I can give to him... So honoured to have grown up listening to him!!!
If you're into George Benson, check that jazz brother named McBride's interview with him. As you notice in this video, Mr. Benson is a great storyteller too.
I will never forget the first time I heard George Benson on the radio. Time slowed down and my surroundings disappeared.....Even my hard rock/ heavy metal guitar playing friends agree he’s among the greatest guitar players ever.
Unbelievable - as a 16 year old boy I freaked out listening to "Gimme the Night", then discovered the Music-Universe of George Benson - and now it is 41 years later and he is still at the top
The first time I saw and listened to Mr. Georgie Benson I was 19 years old at the Hurricane Club in Pittsburgh. He was Fabulous then and it is still exciting thrilling and awesome to hear his brilliant talent today.
The cut Heatwave keyboardist, Rod Temperton, offered to Jonnie Wilder.... and he turned it down. Smells all of Heatwave with that George stank on it... Love it.
I remember that "Give me the night" album on vinyl which I bought in 1980. I remember it because I was a fan of the master for years by then & was on my first salary & my first job.
@@mthobelinathanheshu8423 I started listening to george when I was 14, through my brother, in Brazil and managed to influence nephews and friends. George Benson is all the best!...
Yes George is still doing it , so hard to believe the great George Benson is 81 years young I been fortunate to have heard about him on his 1972 release of the Body Talk Album , man what a great record, and blessed Musician he is! Thank you George!
Great to see Michael O'Neill still working playing rhythm guitar behind George after many years in his backing band. A consummate musician in his own right.
My favorite guitar player. I’ve been a fan since the 1970’s. Brother George can sing as a well as he plays. Thank you Mr Benson for the music. Never stop singing and playing. I wish you good health much love and many blessings.🎸
The equally great Patrice Rushen on keyboards. I was lucky enough in 1971 to turn up on a stormy night at a Tuesday night jazz club gig in Boston, George Benson and earl Klugh. for the early show we were the only ones in the club and George and Earl played us a private concert. Wow.
George has a very wonderful guitar style, I still remember being floored after picking up the vinyl of "Breezin'" all those years ago - and he's still GREAT!
To see George benson and paul jackson junior on 1 stage is like uff. George benson, Paul. J and frank gambale are to me the world for most guitarists. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Thank you Marcus for being so respectful to the man who also kept Donny Hathaways spirit alive. No other song like "The Ghetto" ever touched me like that.
George or Marcus or both. Brought everyone they could to the gig. 😁 Gigging these days is a treat by it self. Very fortunate. GOOD FOR THEM‼️And us enjoying them. 😉👍🏽
The Master Mr. George Benson ! 😎👍 I've watched him play live more than Any other Artist starting back in the mid 1980s (7 live shows ! ), & never gets old 👌😉🎸
Mr. George Benson was so on top of the hits on the ‘80s, that he was part of a Rock Festival list, playing on two nights. That’s the Rock in Rio Festival, the very first one on January of 1985. He played on 01/12 (Saturday) and 01/14 (Monday). I was there and I remember that his concerts were like two big parties, where he called on stage to play with him Mr. Ivan Lin’s. The audience for both night were over 200,000 people. Just two unforgettable concerts for all those people, and so for himself, I believe.
I remember cutting high school to go back to my house with a group of friends (both parents working), just to listen to Earth wind and fire and George Benson and break it down as much as we could at 15 years old, thus I was so happy to hear in the post below that George is not only still with us, But still making the rounds. Bless you George* Benson, this news alone made my day.
It is a luxury to be listening to two of the best artists in the same concert, such as George Benson and Marcus Miller. Great artists always get together and mix their musical wisdom.
George and Markus ,two genius . Love how Markus handled the conversation!!!!!! He did the same once with Miles Davis ,before they played "Mr Pastorius ". Love you guys !!!!! GOD BLESS YOU !!!!!!!
Sometimes you GOT to love YT! What a treat to share these legends with us and to see GB with that funky jazzy playing and singin´ still shaking the venue - priceless.
I had the pleasure of having breakfast with him years ago in Jefferson SC with his sister in law.....loved it and enjoyed every minute of our conversation ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
The best interview on Benson Ive ever heard! I love him and as a lady singer and keyboardist performed his music with my guitar player. My dream one day is to do the duet with him he did with Aretha “Love all the hurt away”. I do Aretha on Piano and he does what he does so well! Amazingly when he talked about Grant Green made me very happy. I worked with two amazing Guitar players in KC. both Grant greens Sons! Cal Green (now passed) was mote R&B and Jazz. Then my guitar player was Gregg Green his brother. He taught me a lot of Jazz standards because I was strict R&B then! Their father instilled greatness in both of them! Thanks again for the concert and the interview love you guys! ❣️🙏🏽🥰
Glad this came across my feed. George Benson, one of the greats - especially his personality. He's for real whenever I see him interviewed. I had to take a break from work to watch and listen. Oh yes.
I am SO pissed off! George Benson was in front of me in line when god was handing out talent. Singing, playing and good looking, he got it all and then there was none left for me!
wonderfull musicians. A special to Mr Marcus who knows the greatness off one of the latest great guitarist ans singer of his generation. Georges is a part of jazz history and a guitar legend !
Love you George and all of you are so talented and the reason is this everything that we have music our beautiful minds comes from our God Jehovah always remember that peace to all of you.Ms.Loretta❤❤
I so APPRECIATE these young artist's bringing out the GREATS! Being an ELDER, I SO APPRECIATE IT! THANK YOU MARCUS & FRIENDS! I bet you put 20 YOUNGER YEARS BACK into George Benson's life, being able to get out to PERFORM ONCE AGAIN!
I am a big fan of George Benson jazz music. Very talented brother. Many blessing!!! of health, happiness, love, peace, and financial blessings to Mr. Benson.
78 years old I can’t believe it! Sounding and looking 30 years younger
Wow 😳 and still playing guitar man that's hard when you age ...your hearing changes
Signed Loki:So cool.
@@pighater951 Does it?There's a lot of old dudes out there still doing it & doing it nicely.
How old? He looks and sounds great! Love him!💝
Nah, he sounds old . Very sad to hear
It's such a blessing to see George Benson still with us and kickin' it as good as ever. Always a favorite of mine for many years. May God keep him safe and healthy for many more years to come. Love you,George!
Der Zenit ist lange vorbei....gell?

@@ManfredElsingBielefeld Das sehe ich auch so. Nach wie vor gut, aber nicht mehr die Klasse wie in den 70er/80ern.
Nice words...
I actually attended High School with George Benson's half sister in Penn Hills PA. I told her my late Father used to play gigs with George Benson. My Dad was a Alto Saxophone Player.
I just wanted to say Hi to the Benson family.
I’m from Penn Hills LOl. Idlewood rd
Good to see Benson’s back on stage. A living legend. No one can deny his achievements on jazz and later pop music
He's a 1/ 1 Billion talent.
This guy is classy and refined. Can listen to him all day. Seen him at the Hollywood Bowl in LA. Justify as good in person. He is one phenomemal musician. I love it! Please keep playing that guitar and giving your fans the honor of your presence. Bless you Mr. Benson. 🎶🎼💗💞
Marcus Miller is a Bad man, and George Benson is a living legend virtuoso✊🏽💯‼️
Georg is one of one. Luckily Dizzy Gillespie and Sarah Vaughn and Nat also where . You understand me, I presume...? Etcetera. and also : etcetera, more greats ! yo ?
Marcus is top notch badder. Thanks ! He is soooo good. @@diggiman01
George Benson & Marcus Miller...what more is there to say 👍🏿💓💓🎵🎶🎼🎸
yes! dope collab
Who else is left? 😥
Exactly. They are to Jazz what Stevie Wonder and The Isleys are to Soul---the standard.
Thanks Marcus for having this for us to see! Love George Benson!
The incredible George Benson.... nothing bad ever was said about him...he is a Great Man!
Mr George Benson, Mr Dave Grusin, Mr Lee Ritenour, Mr Ivan Lins, Mr Joao Bosco, Mr Sadao Watanabe,......when these guys jam,....time stands still.
And Harvey Mason.
And Eric Marienthal on sax
Paul Jackson Jr
AND Marcus Miller!
Angry.....
This generation can't understand the influence George had on many of us growing up.... This man is a living myth, a legend... Words fail me on appellations I can give to him... So honoured to have grown up listening to him!!!

Life would not be the same without musicians like George and Marcus. They make the world smile ,they make the world feel good.
They make the world go round🎶🌞
I will never forget the first time I heard George Benson on the radio. Time slowed down and my surroundings disappeared.....Even my hard rock/ heavy metal guitar playing friends agree he’s among the greatest guitar players ever.
On Broadway. The world stopped.
George Benson is a gift. The passing time does not affect his playing, better than that, it gets better like a fine wine over the years.

Very nice!!

A very incredible guitarist/musician!!! One of the quintessential go to session guitarists throughout the late 80’s, 90’s & early 2000’s!
When your favorite guitar player's favorite guitar player meets your favorite bass player's favorite bass player.
The one and only George Benson, one of my the great guitar players that I've grew on.

@@SanMaiero Yes, you're most likely correct. Thanks for the correction.
